Back before I said goodbye
Just as the first day turned to night, just as the concrete turned to dust
And the steel turned into rust
All I could think was a new way to dig through the damage
Couldn't think of a way to get through this
Now I see you taking advantage and I find another reason to do this
I'm digging us a hole to travel through
I wanna find a way to rattle you
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit, you're gonna have to follow me under it
Let go, it's begun, close your eyes I'm not done
Breathe a word and waste your breath, and keep it up til there's nothing left
Now that I said goodbye
Just as the darkness turned to light
Just as the next light turns to day, and the gets underway
All I can't see is the answers of patient, waiting to take this out on the wind of the raindrops
And I'm waiting patiently taking it in, ready for the first of the face off
I'm digging us a hole to travel through
I wanna find a way to rattle you
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit, you're gonna have to follow me under it
Let go, it's begun, close your eyes I'm not done
Breathe a word and waste your breath, and keep it up til there's nothing left
I'm digging us a hole to travel through
I wanna find a way to rattle you
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit, you're gonna have to follow me under it
I'm digging us a hole to travel through
I wanna find a way to rattle you
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit, you're gonna have to follow me under it
I'm digging us a hole to travel through
I wanna find a way to rattle you
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit, you're gonna have to follow me under it
Let go, it's begun, close your eyes I'm not done
Breathe a word and waste your breath, and keep it up til there's nothing left (go)
