The Rain Falls Sideways
by Benjamin Daniel

Lyrics:

Shadowboxing our pasts
Do you remember the ghost caught your temple?
Like lights out

Lights out
In light of what don’t last
Well I went back in time, saw the foundation sinking
Asked my father, “What were the builders thinking?”
Doubled back to here and you found me weeping
Thought I’d surrendered, but I started singing
It's alright
All right
Alright
All right
Fade away, fade away
But I could never leave it
Here to stay, here to stay
Is all that gets us through
There’s a place, there’s a place
If we’re content with leaving
Where everything’s new
Oh, He makes everything new
What a beautiful view
Things time could never undo
And I run as strong
As my ’99 Ford in the heat
Till it breaks down
Break down
When I’m late to my job
I wanna be a child but now I’m poor and bleeding
California cross to my jaw, just breathing
Get out by a hair with my hair receding
“That kid from Atlanta, he took quite a beating” but
Swing away, swing away
I’ll never stop believing
Everything, everything
The Maker’s hand can turn
Free of faith, free of faith
I never found a better reason
Sometimes you have to unlearn
All the ways your inner child got burned
Cause now he’s taking his turn
Yeah, joy is taking its...
Like a toddler with a pen, I am
Like a beggar with a gem, I am
Like a dog who stays around for scraps
From feasts of holy men, I am
Like a toddler with a pen, I am
Like a beggar with a gem, I am
Like a dog who stays around for scraps
From feasts of holy men, I am
Like a toddler with a pen, I am
Like a beggar with a gem, I am
Like a dog who stays around for scraps
From feasts of holy men, I am
Like a toddler with a pen, I am
Like a beggar with a gem, I am
Like a dog who stays around for scraps
From feasts of holy men, I am
And I cannot keep

All the lights out
No I cannot
And I cannot keep
All the lights out
No I cannot
