Verse 1

They say when it rains it pours coming from the clouds

To replenish the grounds

You still making roots grow so look at me now

How you held me down since we were yay high

You kept me level right

You moved like fluid guy

My cup never dry

Yea you seen me cry

And you seen me lie

But you never tried to judge me, that’s who you were

Always above me but you never ever would

Hold it over me before the days of Foothills

During Pop Warner me with speed us learning skills

Dreams of All-Star league could've paid our bills

Wish you Chris Rix'd me Amat could take me still

Chorus

Pain still remains as we stray away from our sorrow

An hourglass holds the sands of time of which we have borrowed

Some say it is thy will and some refuse to ever follow

Someday we'll breathe for today and tomorrow

Verse 2

How you doin' man

It's been a long time

It's been a long climb

Up on a long vine

But all week it’s been pouring raining from the sky

They say it only happens when the heavens cry

...

And when the tears fall from your mother’s eye's

To keep her up, your sister brother father try

For we to share in pain only understates the ways

For us to be thankful, for what we have today

For what we have lost is within the heaven's gain

Forgive me for wanting you so selfish in the same, ways

Like how we were kids and we always played

Could it all be so simple back in the day

Chorus

Pain still remains as we stray away from our sorrow

An hourglass holds the sands of time of which we have borrowed

Some say it is thy will and some refuse to ever follow

Someday we'll breathe for today and tomorrow

B Section

We all thought the temper from the G in me

Would be what made me the o-n-e

Verse 3

Yes the good die young so I remain to misbehave

Who am I kidding I’m reformed you made my edges straight

That day in court somehow you made me say those words

Wrote only hours prior to the cause this pain deserves

In so many different ways you were controlling me

My mind thoughts actions to have the nerves to be

...

You always had faith in my music and my words

Ideas you had so I listened and I heard

But the other guy your mom told me leave alone

No show to the trial memorial funeral

It's hard to grasp this feeling in myself

It’s hard to hold back my mind hasn't dealt

Its so hard to withstand how it kills my health

Emotional rollercoaster lays in stealth

Counting the days and months to years and how we feel

We all have emotions that lie to us still

Inanimate in death some say God's will

Is it any different when intent was ill

If the red slayer think he slays

Or if the slain think he is slain

They know not well the subtle ways

I keep and pass and turn again

Chorus

Pain still remains as we stray away from our sorrow

An hourglass holds the sands of time of which we have borrowed

Some say it is thy will and some refuse to ever follow

Someday we'll breathe for today and tomorrow
