Black Sheets of Rain (iTunes Session)
[Verse 1]
Check in every morning
To the sound of steam and caffeine
And the sludge in the bottom of the cup
Just like the sludge in the stream
Slag heap keeps growing higher
Every morning the sky, it's on fire
It's on fire
Is there an upside to every downside?
Keep it inside, it's just a downward slide of broken glass
Keeps building in piles
And I don't know
I don't know if the sun still shines
[Chorus]
It's the black sheets of rain
They're calling me again
Everywhere I turn
Everywhеre I've been
They'rе calling me back again
[Verse 2]
I feel the toxins fill my blood stream as I'm walking through the parking lot
Over and over and over and over again
Over and over
The clouds hanging over
Choking the life out of me
The motto seems to be
"We work in order to be free"
[Chorus]
It's the black sheets of rain
They're calling me again
Everywhere I turn
Everywhere I've been
They're calling me back again
Over and over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over and over again
Where were you in my hour of need?
I never see the sun stop shine
Clouds rollin over the sunlight
Someone stop the sun from shining
As I stand here, ready to bleed
Never see the sun stop shinin'
A little rain is all we need
Somebody stop the sun from shinin'
Where will you be in my darkest hour of need?
Where will you be? Where will you be?
Here it comes again
As the black sheets of rain
They're calling me again
Everywhere I turn
Everywhere I've been
They're calling me back again
