I flood the world
While water fills my eyes
But you survive
Because you've built an ark of lies
You've gathered two of every kind
For forty days and forty nights
The rain fell
The plan was divine in back of your mind
The walls around me
Have me drowning in a well
You forced the storm to come and
Swallow everyone

I wish I was Jonah
In a whale in the sea
Tucked away underneath everything
In a deep dark empty belly
Hungering for anything

I've tried to fight like David
Tackle my towering demons
Grab my Goliath guilt and
Get over my greedy jealous feelings

But instead I'm Daniel
Lost in a den of lions
The threat surrounds me
Closing in
But nothing ever happens
