lyrics

It’ll sneak up and catch you/I’ll fall down like rain
Like the waves in the deep blue/Or the wind sweeping the plain

It’s the call of the muse/Let her sweep you away
Close your eyes and you won’t lose/You’ll be singing today

Don’t be scared to feel the hurt now/It’ll feed your song like fire
You’ll rise above the ashes/You’ll rise up from the mire

In this world I went searching /And I found me some pain
But those pine trees that are growing/Need the tumbling rain

In my yellow apartment/ I sat alone in the dark
And I might leave bent/But I made some art

And in that pitch black darkness/A wind did lift my wings
And now the Inland Empire/Can hear me sing.
