lyrics

The clouds are heavy
Blankets grey in the solipsistic dusk
Wanting to break
Every sorrow a frail, deciduous husk

You've waited three summers
For the monarchs to make their way back home
Remembering a mountain
That no longer stands on its own

Buried somewhere you've known who I am
And you can't blame a raindrop for breaking the dam

It's not weakness to cry,
It's not weakness to grieve
It's just watering the flowers
That you need to believe

It's not weakness to care
It's not weakness to love
Don't roll your eyes skyward
Let it rain from above

The trains aren't running
Furrowed fractals frame skeletons lost on the ground
Stripped of their metal
Broken ties cover lies without making a sound

You've strayed from the footpath
Cursed each bramble you've memorized by name
Forgetting to breathe
You've knocked over your pieces and ended your game

You're just dormant
Give it a minute
Let your branches return

It's not weakness to cry,
It's not weakness to grieve
It's just watering the flowers
That you need to believe

It's not weakness to care
It's not weakness to love
Don't roll your eyes skyward
Let it rain from above

Let it pour from your soul
Let the seeds get their start
Let the lightning strike down from the clouds to your heart

Let your redwood grow roots
It's the hard path to take
If you're given the choice
Let things change, let them break

It's not weakness to cry,
It's not weakness to grieve
It's just watering the flowers
That you need to believe

It's not weakness to care
It's not weakness to love
Don't roll your eyes skyward
Let it rain from above

It's not weakness to grieve
It's just watering the flowers
That you need to believe

It's not weakness to care
It's not weakness to love
Don't roll your eyes skyward
Let it rain from above

Let it rain
