Borrowed Works 2: Relief

" Flash flood,
you got too comfortable so
I showed you
who's really in control.
You gave
all of your savings to the poor.

Lightning
on the river and you're
shivering
with your fishing pole.
Same night,
you bought a ring and you proposed.

You never really know what you can't really see.
I'll be fair, I'll be fair.
You made it out alive, oh, what a relief.
I'll be fair, I'll be fair.

Earthquake
in your pajamas huddled
in doorways
while your houses sway.
Blue blood,
pumping like a hunter's fist.

I love the shape
your faces make.
Oh my,
thank you for keeping me safe.
Even though you know
it don't always go that way.

You never really know what you can't really see.
I'll be there, I'll be there.
You made it out alive, oh what a relief.
I'll be there, I'll be there.

And everything will be explained.
Your wild guess,
everything will be explained.
Go ahead,
everything will be explained.

Your wild guess,
and everything will be
explained. "

BW: Borrowed Works. Just the name of the section I've devoted to reciting lyrics. :)
