lyrics

After the scene I was walking away
Tired and divorced of my wounds
While I was singing you silenced me
Asked me to tell you the truth

What were you thinking the other day
When I lay alone in my womb
And what did you think when I called out your name
Did you think I had called you too soon

And it has been raining for days now
And I haven’t moved from my space on the floor
Your arms are the only place that I know
Where I can escape from it all

Sane is all I am asking for
Crazy is all that I get
You may be what I am crying for
But you are the way I forget

While I am praying would you walk with me
And stay when I slow to a crawl
When I’m alone would you cover me
For while I’m awake I’m at war

And it has been raining for days now
And I haven’t moved from my space on the floor
Your arms are the only place that I know
Where I can escape from it all
