[Verse]
The sun's gone black but the sky won’t cry
The river’s a thief and it’s running high
Boots on the porch but the porch is gone
I’m waiting for the ground to turn dawn
[Chorus]
Drowning in the rising water line
The shore’s a ghost and it ain't mine
I can float or fight or lose my time
But I’m drowning in the rising water line
[Verse 2]
The radio’s screaming but it ain’t a song
The water's creeping where it don’t belong
Choked on a prayer as the levee cracks
Got my life in a bag strapped to my back
[Chorus]
Drowning in the rising water line
The shore’s a ghost and it ain't mine
I can float or fight or lose my time
But I’m drowning in the rising water line
[Bridge]
The stars don’t care they just laugh above
Your home ain’t blood but it still feels love
When the earth lets go in its hungry flood
It takes your roots and drinks your blood
[Chorus]
Drowning in the rising water line
The shore’s a ghost and it ain't mine
I can float or fight or lose my time
But I’m drowning in the rising water line
