Rachael Sage - Rain So Hard Lyrics

In my last life upon this shore I slept my way to being pure at nothing, sure of nothing...
Next to nothing less than emptiness
In such a life I paid my dues by dancing in my Sleeping shoes I made my messes by myself
And never swept the floor
I couldn't or I'd disappear for sure

In my last life I prayed for more by gunning down
The candy store protected all my customers
With spider bites and kitten purrs we'd
Roll around in sacred grass until it grew with
Broken glass - a picket fence of flying ants,
Exotic and insane; it wasn't always happy
But it wasn't really pain until it

Rained so hard from the garden to the yard
On the pavement in the gutter
Like a wet leaf I'd be smothered
It would pour like concrete
Onto my roof onto my street
It would rain so heavily that I would die
When I woke up I could live another life

In my last life I played the fool, it was the gift
I gave to you - let you believe that
Playing roles was actually something I chose
I let you have a front row seat, a cushion where
The mindless meet and you put up your
Stinking feet and laughed until I cried
I must have been convincing
‘Cause you seemed preoccupied until it

Rained so hard from the garden to the yard
On the pavement in the gutter
Like a wet leaf I'd be smothered
It would pour like concrete
Onto my roof onto my street
Poison puddles onto my feet
It would rain so heavily that I would die
When I woke up I could live another life

When I was warm and heaven-blessed I blew apart
My Sunday dress - it fell like mud onto the clouds
And deafened planet earth with sounds of
Sorrow and of holy bliss I learned that god is
Just a kiss, secret piece of outer space where
People can erase the face of

Love gone sour, loneliness and loss of power,
Lack of anger, fits of rage, write a book and
Burn the pages, build a house and knock it down
Play the victim or the clown; these two feet
Need never touch the ground again, I swear,
I'm eternally awake and unaware

Rained so hard from the garden to the yard
It would rain so heavily that I would die
When I woke up I could live another life
Rained so hard…
