I’ll take the salty seas
It’s easier than catching the breeze
When you find yourself with arms instead of wings
You’re on the ground again
Rain, Rain, Wash me away
Rain, Rain, Wash me away
Some birds take to the air
With a kind of ease that never seemed fair
Throw back my head and just let it be
Let this rain take all it wants from me
And in return I’ll let the current be my guide
I’m through reaching for the sky
When you find yourself with arms instead of wings
You’re on the ground again
I’m gonna drown again

I’ve been trying, I’ve been trying, I’ve been trying, but I can’t hold it down
And I left you on the dance floor with no one around.
The sky was burning blue or maybe just black.
Your lips were sealed shut hiding our tracks
I hear you crying now
Turned on the radio
To try and drown it out
And now,
All the things we carry,
All these things we carry
That haunt us through our days
While I’m
Looking for an exit,
Drinking for an exit,
From this crowded room
Just killing time.
I’ve been shaking, I’ve been shaking, I’ve been shaking, but I can’t stay inside
And I was lying to myself when I said it was fine.
The lights were turned off or maybe just dimmed
The neon sign was flashing, “Come right in.”
Can’t stand the music now.
Turned off the radio
This time I’m stepping out.

Wait, wait,
Do we know where we’re going?
Do we know where we’ve been?
Stay, stay,
Step right up, come on down
We’ll have a drink over our sins
Listen,
Do we know anything?
Thought into oblivion
And with this next one I imbibe I cleanse myself deep down inside
Forget the water, I’ll take the wine
Look at the world through my eyes, these holy spirits make you blind
Two thousand years is a long time to keep on drinking that same wine
Wait, wait,
Do you hear what you’re saying?
Do you know what you believe?
Stay, stay,
Obey irrationally.
There’re thoughts here to conceive.
Listen,
This is not a children’s game
Where all the rules have been changed.
Wait, wait,
Do you see what I’m saying?
Can you come to understand?
Stay, stay,
This is not a choice I’ve made,
But a leg for truth to stand.
Listen,
It’s time to take our freedom back.
Make free will a demand

I don’t want to hear about the weather
I don’t want to hear that you’re feeling better
I don’t want to taste last night this morning
There’re just some things you can’t avoid.
Wake up, face down
The sun is shining loud
In my head and in my eyes.
Wake up, face down
It’s time to turn this life around,
But in my head its just alright.
Fall through the day I’m sick of thinking
‘Bout all the pieces that don’t fit.
The coffee breath, the fear, the shaking,
Another day that I’ll forget.
