Earthquake

Do you mind if I have the time
to secretly try to clear my mind

Just one more gray Monday
I find outside my window screen
Bound to last for hours
24 or more it seems
Do you mind if I have the time
to secretly try to clear my mind

And you can cry tears to fill a teacup
But I could weep enough to form a lake
And you know everybody rises when the sun does
But you'll find me sleeping through the earthquake

The price of being human
is growing much too high to pay
Can't compare how big is my share
Might as well be just a lump of clay

Do you mind if I just unwind
while holding back everything inside
And you can shout a voice that rivals thunder
But I can yell so loud the whole world shakes
And you know everybody falls in love with someone
But I'm still here living through the heartache

You can cry tears to fill a teacup
But I could weep enough to form a lake
And you know everybody rises when the sun does
But you'll find me sleeping through the earthquake
