rain is falling on the drought
never knew there was a cloud
but when the water comes it won't keep its shape
flowers bloom but the canyons will change
i've been through the flaming towers
i've come out burning and on fire
i've smoldered, pointed right at your back
but you didn't notice when i turned into ash
you can shout, show you wounds
and see only what you can prove
you don't know, you don't move
i was always there for you
maybe someday you'll see all the scattered debris
maybe someday you'll see why i had to leave
braced myself for fateful crash
but found myself starting to laugh
no more sleepless nights or cleanup crew
my life no longer revolved around you
you can shout, show you wounds
and see only what you can prove
you don't know, you don't move
i was always there for you
maybe someday you'll see all the scattered debris
maybe someday you'll see why i had to leave
time for purgatory now
to decide on up or down
to deny your deeds and live in bliss
or repent everything and make up for it now
