[Verse 1]
I've been having nightmares like you wouldn’t believe
All day long until I fall asleep
By the watermarks I keep finding
I know the flood has been here before
The earth has fever in her angry eyes
Our fires make her waters rise
As we're watching her gardens die
The future's falling from our eyes
Our tears in the ground
[Verse 2]
Another beat down
One more break in the heart
My mind tears itself apart
Though I’ve fallen through the lies before
I won't stay down here anymore
I'll get up and leave my tears in the ground
[Bridge]
You can't take the dreams out of us
No matter what you do
No one will cry
No one will cry for you
[Verse 3]
I'll shake the sky for angels
Waiting under the night
I'll dig in the dirt for light
Though I've fallen through the lies before
I won't stay down here anymore
I’ll get up and leave my tears in the ground
