Originally from the album `Imaginary Walls Collapse', released on Song, by Toad Records in 2013.

lyrics

When the truth is compromised
you climb out
onto a mountain side
all by yourself
(Into the light, unto the rain)

Indelible fingers steal
the singers
Their voices stretched
and scratched and full of pain
(Into the light, unto the rain)

When the spear hits
your arm you cry out
the yellow bruises rise
into your skin
(Into the light, unto the rain)

Certain you closed
the blinds behind you
the ceiling cracked
the fish tank caving-in
(Into the light, unto the rain)

And then the silence
hits you through a window
the branches stretch
across the room
It wasn't your fault
you know that you didn't need to
spiral in and down
into decay.

When your speech is compromised
you hide out
in a sinking tank
all by yourself
(Into the light, unto the rain)

Incurable fingers slice up singers
their skin is stretched and scratched
excreting paint
(Into the light, unto the rain)

When the needle hits
your arm you scream out
the bloody bruises
rise into your skin
(Into the light, unto the rain)

Certain you'd closed
the blinds behind you
the ceiling cracked
the fish tank caving-in
(Into the light, unto the rain)
