I'm not sure why it always flows downhill 
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled 
I've spent ten years singing gravity away 
But the water keeps on falling from the sky 

And here tonight while the stars are blacking out 
With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt 
I've spent ten years trying to sing these doubts away 
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes 

And heaven knows... heaven knows 
I tried to find a cure for the pain 
Oh my Lord! to suffer like you do... 
It would be a lie [bad word] away 

So blood is fire pulsing through our veins 
We're either riders or fools behind the reigns 
I've spent 10 years trying to sing it all away 
but the water keeps on falling from my tries
