"No Rain" lyrics

"No Rain"

Lawd, Holy crotch makes me nervous
And I'm stuck, good enough
I feel semblance
I'm pushing away, pushing away on purpose
Cause I'm scared, unprepared
I feel worthless

I need Focus
Hocus Pocus to hold back the locusts
And I'm all in, calling to calling
Thorns into roses
It's easier to face away
Cause I don't wanna waste a day
I'll never really raise the stakes
Cause I'm lazy saving face

And we say: No way not in my name
It wouldn't be smoke with no flame
Nothing grows with no rain
Blood on my hands I can't pray
Nothing on Earth I can't change
It wouldn't be birth without pain
I don't care what they say
Cause we'll be alright, it's all life
It's all love, it's all life
It's your time, it's all good
It's all yours, it's all mine
We'll be alright
It's all life, it's all love
It's all life
It's all just a big game
Live your life without shame

God only knows love turns sour
Holy Ghost, hold me close
Give me power
And I'm pushing away, pushing away and I cower
When I wake, fresh new slate
Seeds to flowers

I need Focus
Hocus Pocus to hold back the locusts
And I'm all in, calling to calling
Thorns into roses

And we say: No way not in my name
It wouldn't be smoke with no flame
Nothing grows with no rain
Blood on my hands I can't pray
Nothing on Earth I can't change
It wouldn't be birth without pain
I don't care what they say
Cause we'll be alright, it's all life
It's all love, it's all life
It's your time, it's all good
It's all yours, it's all mine
We'll be alright
It's all life, it's all love
It's all life
It's all just a big game
Live your life without shame

It's easier to face away
Cause I don't wanna waste a day
I'll never really raise the stakes
Cause I'm lazy saving face

And we say: No way not in my name
It wouldn't be smoke with no flame
Nothing grows with no rain
Blood on my hands I can't pray
Nothing on Earth I can't change
It wouldn't be birth without pain
I don't care what they say
Cause we'll be alright, it's all life
It's all love, it's all life
It's your time, it's all good
It's all yours, it's all mine
We'll be alright
It's all life, it's all love
It's all life
It's all just a big game
Live your life without shame
