I sold my shoes For a front row seat on the news Where I fould all that I can say And I still got the blues And I picked up the blame And shaved my beard And I walked back into town With nothing to fear Well I picked up my mess And put it in the ground I watered it down Waited for the seed to sprout, To sprout Silence fills the air when it's raining But I don't see anyone complaining Truth pokes it's head out Truth pokes it's head out Well I took my last rose And threw it in the fire And I gathered all the ashes And started my empire What is it to you When I do what I please And when I pray for you Ah, I don't expect you to pray for me For me Silence fills the air when it's raining But I don't see anyone complaining Truth pokes it's head out Truth pokes it's head out I took a bath In the constellation aftermath When I jumped off that store I looked upon this plastic place And I saved it with my grace Silence fills the air when it's raining But I don't see anyone complaining Truth pokes it's head out Truth pokes it's head out Silence fills the air when it's raining But I don't see anyone complaining Truth pokes it's head out Truth pokes it's head out
