• I wrote it all off as an act of god
    but the rain's what gave it away
    when it fell all sideways on the cotton sheets
    i should have ran to the thunder,
    far away.

    I stuck around for a couple months
    as the stagnancy took hold
    and each of us seemed to fuse as one
    but we just thought it was the cold,
    holding us together

    she loved me like i loved the road
    but our needs tore us away
    and i didn't feel the least bit bad
    as i stumbled towards the thunder,
    i had long been set astray.

    I wrote it all off as an act of god
    but her tears gave it away
    when they fell sideways on my cotton sleeve
    i fled to the thunder,
    far away

    fled to the thunder over those hills
    where the backlighting was cruel.
    as it lent deception to their worth
    as silent sandstone gods.
