The night I woke in laughter    the pain came surely after    tried to rise above the sinking feeling    then the rain fell through my ceiling       the lives I lead are not a strangers    and the quiet I need protects me from danger    I have relied on some strangers notion    close my eyes I am thinking emotion       all I have ever wanted    isnt so strangely out of sync    with where I am now    and if the truth remains in verses    I know the worst is over now       over land and sea in the motion    I have survived more on heat than immersion    I have relied on some divine notion    close my eyes    think I am sick from the motion       all I have ever wanted    isnt so strangely out of sync    with where I am now    and if the truth remains in verses    I know the verse is over now       and with a stronger tie than worship    I know you are there following me    through all the verses I write    and if my truth remains in front of me    I know you are there    I know the worst is over now
