You Leave Songtext
von Therefore I Am

We are all sufferers of love
Waiting for the rains to come
Hoping they flood away the pain

Some stable, some not safe to say
But we′re all wishing death would call
Would scream out each and every name
So here I am
Praying for the rains to come
Hoping they flood away the pain
With the smell of smoke and plastic gin
Washed over my head and past my knees
I slowly wait to be erased

We are all like specks of dust
That happened to collect in the same
Shining ray of sun
In a golden hue
That casts right through some old man's living room
Where he sits all alone in overtones


And accents of smoke and nicotine
A calming subtlety to complement the clipper ships
And the paintings he has hung
While we all float and live by chance
He just sits and stares and laughs at

The shadows we create

(And then you leave)
And then you leave
(And then you leave)
Just like God when he
Abandoned all of us
With the punishment of love

(And then you leave)
And the devil feeds
(And then you leave)
Misery like air into our lungs
So it will settle in our blood


And then you leave
And then you leave
And then you leave
And then you leave
And then you leave
And then you leave
And then you leave
And then you leave
