"it has done me good to be somewhat parched by the heat
and drenched by the rain of life"
-henry w longfellow

when you opened up your mouth
did it appear to be
a final falling out
with what is left of me
hear the laughter on the hill
when everything is still

naturally it makes me angry
i'm overwhelmed with hate and worry
i've been lying on the floor for hours
with principalities and powers

could it have ever been
but near the end
you open up your mouth
it all comes falling out
hear the crying on the hill
when everything is still

naturally it makes me angry
i'm overwhelmed with hate and worry
i've been lying on the floor for hours
with principalities and powers

don't you ever say to me again
it's all over now
and don't it feel
that's all too real
you saved my soul
but did you open up your head
and did you figure out again
that the redemption never ends
in spite of me

come on over
it's all over
i'm on your good side

i've been holding in to feel the same
if i could get into the game
it's all my fault
you said to me yourself to let it go
now i can feel it so much more
than i've known
well i heard about our friend
i hear he'll never hope again
it's all the same
