Intro: William Shatner Sound Bite: "D'you smell that? A sweet odor like honey."

Verse1
I thought my upper lip was strong
but there's always something wrong
so forgive me if I quiver just a little bit
You're gone, so I sit and sing these songs
hoping you might sing along
cause I isolate in angst and pain, and altered states

Settle
and pray for rain

Bridge
To weather me and wash away these stains (stains) (I’m feelin’)
My brow is beat, and everything's delayed (delayed) (I’m feelin’)
it's menacing, and never seems to fade--away!

Prechorus
Guess you'll always be
a part of me

Chorus
Hey I’m feelin’ so alone
Got my bags all packed away
(I’ve got to get away)

Hey I’m feelin’ so alone
Will you come for me today?

Verse 2
How my face has grown so long (So long)
and there's nowhere I belong (Belong)
just a lonely soul, nowhere to go
so I stay home, like stone
on a roll with heavy soul
and no moss to call my own
just sediment, and heart felt moans
to gap the hole

(Like stone on the trippin’ water)
(Like a stone nowhere to go)
(My own)

Settle
I pray for rain
(I pray for the rain)

Bridge
To weather me and wash away these stains (stains) (I’m feelin’)
My brow is beat, and everything's delayed (delayed) (I’m feelin’)
it's menacing, and never seems to fade--away!

Prechorus
Guess you'll always be
a part of me

Chorus (X2)
Hey I’m feelin’ so alone
Got my bags all packed away
(I’ve got to get away)

Hey I’m feelin’ so alone
Will you come for me today?
(I’ve got to get away)
