about

This organization is a crowdfunding campaign geared towards helping Puerto Ricans recover after the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria. I am a Puerto Rican and have family there, so it's a cause close to my heart.

lyrics

The deluge waits on the horizon
It means to inundate this town.
They said the waters are a risin',
But I live on higher ground.
I have no fear of man or tempest.
I can brave the hurricane.
Disaster's always been my temptress.
Sink or swim, it's all the same.

The flood, the flood, it's in my blood.
Asphyxiate my liquid lungs.
Too shallow to swim, too deep to run.
The tides are washing bodies up.
The flood, the flood, it's in my blood.
Asphyxiate my liquid lungs.
Too shallow to swim, too deep to run.
The tides keep crashing, bottoms up.

Beneath this blanket, creature comforts.
Misery and all his friends.
Dance and drink with all my demons,
'Til the dregs of this storm end.
Though the rescue boats kept coming,
I don't dare dream of a dry death.
Leave me here to play at numbing.
Full fathom fifths flow through my chest.

Now I am drowning in the sea.
Oh, Father, take this cup from me.
Now I am drowning in disease
Oh, Father, take this cup from me.
Oh, could you spare some water, please?
