about

Adam original version appears on the album After The Flood (2015).

lyrics

I will feel like life is successful
And I no longer fear death
When the reasons I worked so hard to win
Have given way to such success

I'm accounting on you to keep it quiet
Though I see it in your eyes
The cold questions about why
I told you one too many lies

I'm bottom rung hung
I'm tolerant
But I still think wicked thoughts
I wish I didn't

I'm Cary Grant on a bad day
You're me when I glance in the mirror
the wrong way

I'm a fruit, I'm the Adam's apple
You were never cute
You somehow never had to

You were duty-bound
To honour our Father
That wasn't going to suit you
Why would you bother?

I'm the brand new son
I'm tolerated
But I still do wicked acts
I wish I didn't
I wish I wasn't hated

I will always forgive you my brother
'Cause maybe I led you astray
Even though the wars are won
We have many debts still to pay

I'm counting on you to protect
What little we have left
Our cold prospects
Bereft

I'm bottomed out
And little by little sinking
The Flood washed us out
What were we thinking?

Ok, admission: I messed up
Cults and capers
I knew the stalemate ended
Sooner than later

Consequences on my shoulders
So many choices
I tuned them all out
For my inner voices

Sick belief made me sick
I tainted you with belief
The sickness spread all too quick
The flood was the final relief
