Undercurrent - Part 2 - The Flood (Mirror)

alternative rock progressive rock
Lyrics

[Verse 1 - Voice 1: rising, losing grip, faster]
The anchor snapped, the current won
The still was just a loaded gun
I held it down until it turned
Now everything I touch gets burned

[Verse 1 - Voice 2: trying to cut through, barely heard]
You're wearing what you swore you'd never be
The wave that drowned you is the wave you're sending free

[Chorus]
Flood and fury, fury, flood
The water turns to rising blood
Tearing down what I had built
Drowning everything in guilt

[Verse 2 - Voice 1: full storm, the rage turned weapon]
I'll turn my pain into a blade
I'll drag my ghosts out of the shade
The silence broke and now I'm loud
Judge and jury, angry crowd

[Verse 2 - Voice 2: losing the fight to be heard]
The compass broke — you broke it first
You're quenching fire with a thirst

[Chorus]
Flood and fury, fury, flood
The water turns to rising blood
Tearing down what I had built
Drowning everything in guilt

[Solo: violent, chaotic, dissonant — losing control musically]

[Bridge - Voice 1 only, cracking]
I became my own disaster
Held the mirror up too late
Every wall I built from anger
Was a door I should have stayed
I called it standing up
I called it finding voice
But the flood doesn't listen
The flood doesn't choice

[Chorus - slower, spent]
Flood and fury, fury, flood
The water settles into mud
Nothing left that wasn't mine
Everything I broke was fine

[Outro - both voices, exhausted]
The flood recedes
The flood recedes
The wreckage stays
The wreckage stays
