The Ledger Never Stays Hid

[Verse]

Woke up to the tide climbing up my street

Nobody moved a single grain of sand

They paved the marsh to sell the view

And the ledger closed on a bleached-out land

[Pre-Chorus]

So I count every drop that they tried to bury

I count every fish belly-up at the wall

I am the daughter of the rising water

And I will not let this river fall

[Chorus]

I am the flood you cannot fold

I am the flood you cannot name

You raised the dike you raised the cost

Now the water takes it back the same

[Post-Chorus]

Rise rise rise

Roll it over

Rise rise rise

Roll it over

[Verse]

My grandmother knew which well to trust

Which root to pull which bird to read

Your engineers drew a straight blue line

And signed away the reeds

[Pre-Chorus]

You can drain the canal you can blame the moon

You can sell the shore to the highest bid

But the silt remembers every boot

And the ledger never stays hid

[Chorus]

I am the flood you cannot fold

I am the flood you cannot name

You raised the dike you raised the cost

Now the water takes it back the same

[Post-Chorus]

Rise rise rise

Roll it over

Rise rise rise

Roll it over

[Bridge]

Break the lock

Break the pipe

Break the deal you signed at night

Break the lease

Break the wire

Watch the pressure climb the spire

[Breakdown]

Siete ocho nueve

Siete ocho nueve

Choke

Choke

Choke

[Chorus]

I am the flood you cannot fold

I am the flood you cannot name

You raised the dike you raised the cost

Now the water takes it back the same

The same

The same

The same

[Outro]

Drink it

Drink it

Drink it
