Deluge

by Olga Tañón

This body is riddled with ailment,
The devil's got me in his grip.
Genuflect and skin me of this payment
We share the same affliction everybody's gotta breathe,
That's what I say.
I thought your touch would be the vessel to my salvation
But it drifted far beyond the shore
So I put up my sails and I searched all my days
And I found out one thing there's no love anymore.
No more pouring out I swear to God I'll overflow,
Until it spills over, your floors ungratified.
It comes in oceanic surges,
I heard they purge you of denial
But I'm lost in a sea of delusion.
So instead I purge my abdomen of antiquated doubt.
Your candle's burning to no end,
But you're relentless all the same,
Please dear just validate this fixation.
No more pouring out I swear to God I'll overflow,
Until it spills over, your floors ungratified.
This body is riddled with ailment,
The devil's got me in his grip.
Genuflect and skin me of this payment
We share the same affliction everybody's gotta breathe.
No more pouring out I swear to God I'll overflow,
My own deluge going to waste,
It leaves me restless but I will wait,
Until it spills over your floors ungratified.
