The Gift

Lyrics

Darling don't you understand
 I feel so ill at ease
 The room is full of silence and it's getting hard to breathe
 Take this gilded cage of pain and set me free
 Take this overcoat of shame
 It never did belong to me
 ♪
 It never did belong to me
 I need to go outside
 I need to leave the smoke
 'Cause I can't go on living in the same sick joke
 It seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist
 Now that you have given me the perfect gift
 ♪
 You have given me the gift
 ♪
 For we have fallen from our shelves
 ♪
 To face the truth about ourselves
 ♪
 And we have tumbled from our trees
 ♪
 Tumbled from our trees
 ♪
 And I can almost...
 I can almost hear the rain falling
 Don't you know it feels so good
 ♪
 So let's go out into the rain again
 ♪
 Just like we said we always would
