Philosophy

Words & Music by Allison Crowe

Rain has always fallen silently in my mind
and its built up so high that I'll drown in my own faults
and when I stop breathing maybe I'll be taken to a place
where I can be of some use
now tell me baby, is this not like me

I can't be here now and I don't want your eyes reaching mine
I don't understand why all you had you had to leave behind

I can't stay here now
and I wish my plans were only residential
so I will tell you now that baby I am not unique

so I will empty my veins so my blood can no longer run cold
and my voice will cease shrieking so you can't disagree

I will try to fly
and if I don't make it at least I'll know that I
didn't have to watch myself fail again
well I have got to go

I can walk into the sea
and open my eyes so I can't see
and I can feel you rush in to me
and I am drowning
and I am free
