Standing in the pouring rain Painted hearts peeling away I know it feels like the weight of a waterfall Crushing your back chaining you to your knees My arms grow out like the willow branches I want your forgiveness, yet I'm speaking in tongues Standing in pouring rain Painted hearts peeling away It always feels like we're reading a script ('script for lithium) I know that you know, that this is all bullshit We both love to make it our cross to bear It always feels like we're reading a script ('script for lithium) Do you think that I think that this is all worth it? It's like the safety in watching reruns Will a sense of change ever come? Or do we spend our time waiting for one? I know it feels like the weight of a waterfall Crushing your back chaining you to your knees My arms grow out like the willow branches I want your forgiveness, yet I'm speaking in tongues Can you look at me and numb me? Just wake me up when it's said and done I've been ready for this since day one Our hearts painted, dried in the sun Our hearts haven't tainted - not poisoned, not blind You weren't ready to leave, but we were ready to run NOT POISONED NOT BLIND
