The avalanche took me by surprise
This time it was visible
Taller than the trees
Reaching the sky it nearly buried me
But I've been delivered by a dead man's voice
Like a messenger of all's right
I've seen you live through the darkest of days
Alive but a little less and hanging off your cigarette
And hiding under pills
Your brilliance will decay
Unless delivered by a dead man's voice
Like a messenger of all's right
When the sun doesn't shine for days
When there's a slave behind my eyes
When the usual isn't enough
And the voices rage until I hate again
There is one who would pull me out.. of the rumble
The rumble would decay when the needle hit the groove and built the silence
The silence will decay when the needle left the groove to build the rumble
The avalanche took me by surprise
The next time I may not be as fortunate
It's so hard to clear my head
My days of life go racing by and I won't even use them
Unless delivered by a dead man's voice
Like a messenger of all's right
I've been delivered by a messenger
Refrain~
There is one who would pull me out...
