Every time I rise, you fall away It's the same story day after day You're voice is like poison You can't be me I've heard it all before The murmurs and the whispers I don't listen anymore (Fall away) (I'll call you out)

What about us? What about all the plans that ended in disaster? What about all the times you said you had the answers? What about all the broken happy ever afters? Oh, what about us? What about love? What about trust? Oh, what about love? What about

And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears. Get over your hill and see what you find there, With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair. And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears. And after the storm, I run and run

Harlem once was red line district rated Designated ghetto like the yellow star of David And you wonder why people don't own their homes 'Cause the racist bank wouldn't fuckin' mortgage a loan Until after the invasion of gentrification Eminent domain

Son of a gun 'Cause I'm the lighting to your storm Dark blood stains after a dog fight The tornado to your alarm Your hangover after a long night I'm the snake outta your barn That one mistake you ever did right The gunpowder to your drum I'm your son

I feel the way you would Suddenly, you were gone From all the lives you left your mark upon How we talked and drank into the misty dawn I hear the voices We ran by the water on the wet summer lawn I see the footprints Tried to believe but you know it's

I ain't gonna be that easy to leave Girl I'm gonna make you miss me I'm gonna make you miss me Make you wish that you were sleeping in my shirt Lie about my jacket and tell everyone it's yours When your phone rings after midnight and you're thinking

You are never alone We will overcome Through the eye Of the storm Even through, the shadows Together we stand After all this time No matter the trial

Come September I'll be gone (gone, gone) I said I loved you in the summer But will I love you in the fall I thought I wasn't like the others Guess I'm an asshole after all I used to be alright I'd tell myself I love you But I'm creeping every night

I'm on your back If you walk out on me I'm walking after you I cannot be without you, matter of fact Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds Dreaming aloud Things just won't do without you, matter of fact If you'd accept surrender, I'll give up some
