We are built like a grudge made of brothers and sisters
We all try to breathe underground
We have built our house out of wishes and blisters
We are young but we live alone
We will spill from our mouths all the rain of the world
While I drown in my father's faults
And we will bend, till we break, the back of the beast
and we shall feast upon his thoughts
They say the rain knew what we'd say in the face of truth
So it came to wash us all away
I am a hungry prayer and I do not dare step outside to dine
I am in reverse, and I am cursed to live outside the lines of time
They say the rain knew what we'd say in the face of truth
so it came to wash us all away
They say the world threw a wrench in the gears of those
who are so alone, with only a blistered hand
To rub the back of the night
