Don't wait for rivers to flood
Just to keep you afloat
Don't wait for mountains to fall
just to get across
And I've never seen lights quite like these
Glowing and bursting for me and times never ceased or stopped for me
But suddenly I control all I see
When did these faces need me to be everything I could be
When did these words breathe life into the deceased

Don't wait for rivers to flood just to keep you afloat
Don't wait for mountains to fall just to get across
Don't wait for rivers to flood just to keep you afloat
Don't wait for mountains to fall just to get across

Any path that you take that you didn't pave is the wrong one
And anybody who waits in the rain will drown in the flood
And anybody who makes the climb knows the view is worth the time
But the battle of if I'll ever get there is the problem
How much can I take 'til I call it quits
How long can my legs keep running like this
Until they give in
Until my liver gives up, my lungs are blackened
But that's how I like them
I'm pushing the limits until they push me back
I'm on the edge of the mountain calculating the gap between a rock and a hard place
A palace and a pit
But I remember death never lies to the people who live

Don't wait for rivers to flood just to keep you afloat
Don't wait for mountains to fall just to get across
Don't wait for rivers to flood
Don't wait for mountains to fall
