The Flood- a new song?? (Patreon)

Hi patrons!

I wrote this a few days ago about surviving the last 4 years with my friend Micah, and we were so excited in the midst of it and now I'm like...meh? xD.  I think there's a lot of potential in it, but it needs some rewrites.  This would potentially be on the album as the slow, almost "voice memo"-like song.

What hits you and what doesn't?  I'm super curious what y'all think of this one.

lyrics:

The water had risen

I asked what it was here to take away

I looked to those who might know

And soon I’d set my watch to it’s raging waves

The day it retreated I checked my calendar

And realized today marked a year

Since the first time you leaned in to kiss me

and said I had nothing to fear

After the flood the Noahs will be lonely

But one will take up a pen and tell their story

I woke up today

I held your hand

I loved you for the thousandth time.

I did my best

And I forgave

I made a blanket

And I tucked myself in

I step out into the rain

Lock the door as good and evil hang in the air

I walk down the street with a stillness in my pocket

And a weight I’d learned to bear

I pass a child with clouds in her eyes, instead of wonder

I decided I would find a ray of sunlight for her

So I woke up today

I held your hand

I loved you for the thousandth time

I did my best

And I forgave

I made a blanket

And I tucked myself in

I walked to the beat of a song that said “I know why”

Not sure where I heard it the first time but to this day it makes me cry
