lyrics

I really hope you're listening
Not even worth denying
All your time, all your time is gone
You know the best thing for you
Is not the best thing for us
Come down and look me in the eye

Does it matter where it's from, let it rain
You never see it when it comes, let it rain
I'll suck the air out of your lungs
I'll raze the pedestal you're on
I'll take a life and carry on
Let it rain

How is it nothing's working
I think you need protecting
Always on, yeah, you're always on
I saw so many colors
All of it you've covered up in gray
Why should I let you stay

Now that Eden's turned a slum, let it rain
You wanted all, I gave you some, let it rain
I'll burn the oceans rising up
And drown the horse you're riding on
I'll take your life and carry on
So let it rain

I know you can't be listening
No matter how loud I scream
You do what you do best
So go ahead and plunder
Tear at me and wonder
Where and when will it all end

It doesn't matter where it's from, let it rain
You'll never see it when it comes, let it rain
Now that Eden's turned a slum, let it rain
You wanted all and needed none, let it rain
I'll take your life and carry on (x2)
I gave you life to carry on
And let it rain
