Consumption

I stood in a state of absolute zero

Dry mud and dust for seven long years

I was a landscape of broken glass

A map with no roads leading home

The sky was a sheet of hot iron

Then you smashed the dam in my chest (Smashed it wide open)

You’re my Amazon, cutting through the stone

4000 miles of life I never knew

I’m drowning in the mercy of your current

Flow through me, flood the empty ground

I saw the wreckage of my old self

Torn apart by a category five storm

You hauled the rain from the high Andes

Now the basin is full and heavy

I hit the Atlantic at the edge of you (Right at the edge)

You’re my Amazon, cutting through the stone

4000 miles of life I never knew

I’m drowning in the mercy of your current

Flow through me, flood the empty ground

Did you think I would stay a wasteland?

I was a ghost town with no people

Now the water is rising in my veins

You are the map and the only destination (The only one I see)

You’re my Amazon, cutting through the stone

4000 miles of life I never knew

I’m drowning in the mercy of your current

Flow through me, flood the empty ground

A river of life in my bones

10 billion gallons of you

Flowing through the center of me (Flowing through me, flowing through me)
