Before and After the Flood
Come the storm clouds
Come the howling winds
They form a vortex to pull it all in
The rain drops
Fall in sweeping sheets
A rolling deluge to wipe it all clean
Through the wailing
We hear teeth gnash
And a God in mourning for his broken contract
They feign indignant
Like they didn't know
To heed the bearers of his rainbow
I know you didn't hear me then
I wonder if you hear me now
Tell me if you're listening
Or am I just wasting breath on
Whoever you are today
Whatever you are right now
Or will you just pretend that none of this was real the minute that I turn around
Pretend that you were ignorant
Even when I showed you evidence
Pretend that you were innocent
Even when you cheered for death for
Anyone who begged for help
Anyone who sought your aid
Point your bloody finger at whom you hold accountable even as you walk away
I know you didn't hear me then
I wonder if you hear me now
Tell me if you're listening
Or am I just wasting breath on
Whoever you are today
Whatever you are right now
Or will you just pretend that none of this was real the minute that I turn around
Pretend that you were ignorant
Even when I showed you evidence
Pretend that you were innocent
Even when you cheered for death for
Anyone who begged for help
Anyone who sought your aid
Point your bloody finger at whom you hold accountable even as you walk away
Come the howling winds
They form a vortex to pull it all in
The rain drops
Fall in sweeping sheets
A rolling deluge to wipe it all clean
Through the wailing
We hear teeth gnash
And a God in mourning for his broken contract
They feign indignant
Like they didn't know
To heed the bearers of his rainbow
I know you didn't hear me then
I wonder if you hear me now
Tell me if you're listening
Or am I just wasting breath on
Whoever you are today
Whatever you are right now
Or will you just pretend that none of this was real the minute that I turn around
Pretend that you were ignorant
Even when I showed you evidence
Pretend that you were innocent
Even when you cheered for death for
Anyone who begged for help
Anyone who sought your aid
Point your bloody finger at whom you hold accountable even as you walk away
I know you didn't hear me then
I wonder if you hear me now
Tell me if you're listening
Or am I just wasting breath on
Whoever you are today
Whatever you are right now
Or will you just pretend that none of this was real the minute that I turn around
Pretend that you were ignorant
Even when I showed you evidence
Pretend that you were innocent
Even when you cheered for death for
Anyone who begged for help
Anyone who sought your aid
Point your bloody finger at whom you hold accountable even as you walk away
