You've been missing for weeks I think it's gonna rain Leave the warmth of the house See where you've run away This ladder I have found runs to your sewer line If I brave the underground, what do you think I'll find? But it's your only way out And it's my only way down Look up It's the only way out I was calling your name into the darkest part You'd rather dream in the rain than dwell in a shelterheart But if affection's mundane I'll keep close with every breath I'd sooner be a son than be someone Success is just as much a beggar in its death This is the only way out Grace is the only way out Love is my only way down And you keep going deeper You're always looking around For what can never be found Downpour I think you might drown Don't want you to stay there I want you to stay My sad eyes are steady Not gonna look the other way You have to reach higher This dream you have loved It's not what you wanted It's fire and flood Whisper over the rain Words never make it through If it's all beauty and pain without the brutal truth You've worn that cross on your neck Would you let that cross wear you? This is the only way out Don't hide the only way out God died He went to the ground It was the only way out Bloodshed My only way down Dark red Your only way out My head won't rest for a crown This is the only way
