lyrics

Mmm, I broke down today
I fell to the earth and I started to pray
I took off my mask and I put on a sweater
And called out to God and I hoped to get better
I saw that the weather, the bad weather was here to stay
But I knew you were coming, I knew you were right on your way

Mmm, don't know what to stay
All of my words got lost on the way
So open your mouth and let spill out your parables
I'm in the dark with these blackhearted miracles
All of us here and the fear never really away
And we're watching the carnage unfold in slow motion replay

Mmm, it's been raining since May
The sky is a bad shade of gunmetal grey
Then the lightning strikes me and the rain's pouring down
And it washes the blood, it soaks into the ground
And there's no one around, in spite of what all the signs say
So there's no use in reading them, best put your glasses away

And I don't have the reason, I don't have the reason
I don't have the reason, I don't have the reason
I don't have the reason, I don't know why you'd wanna stay
But I knew you were coming, I knew you were right on your way
