Lyrics

Nearly excavated
Weak and half-sedated
All for someone
Who'll carelessly crawl from you
Your Daniel's in the doorway
One foot in the hallway
Thinking of home
His own mother's arms, nothing new
Blood into the water
Still nearly someone's daughter, poured through a strain
Hold on for the moment
When the sky above explodes and the rain washes down
Sweep you away from Mattoon
This love not yet existed
Red-faced tears and twisted
Answered the call
Your prayers in the night to God knows who
When you were small and friendless
The days with mom were endless
Before she escaped
The same way you'd now like to do
Blood into the water
Still nearly someone's daughter, poured through a strain
Hold on for the moment
When the sky above explodes and the rain washes down
Sweep you away from Mattoon
A man in oval glasses
Pumping toxic gasses
Into the homes
Of lovers in the night for God
Not careful to be silent
Rags and lighter violently
Stuffed in the frame
To bend back the screen and the rods
His eyes blood red and wild
As mother and her child sleeping apart
Backs turned to the window
As pesticides in billows cascading down
Ceiling to floor of the room
Blood into the water
Still nearly someone's daughter, poured through a strain
Hold on for the moment
When the sky above explodes and the rain washes down
Sweep you away from Mattoon
