lyrics

You've been missing for weeks
I think it's gonna rain
Leave the warmth of the house
See where you've run away
This ladder I have found runs to your sewer line
If I brave the underground, what do you think I'll find?

But it's your only way out
And it's my only way down
Look up
It's the only way out

I was calling your name into the darkest part
You'd rather dream in the rain than dwell in a shelterheart
But if affection's mundane
I'll keep close with every breath
I'd sooner be a son than be someone
Success is just as much a beggar in its death

This is the only way out
Grace is the only way out
Love is my only way down
And you keep going deeper
You're always looking around
For what can never be found
Downpour
I think you might drown

Don't want you to stay there
I want you to stay
My sad eyes are steady
Not gonna look the other way
You have to reach higher
This dream you have loved
It's not what you wanted
It's fire and flood

Whisper over the rain
Words never make it through
If it's all beauty and pain without the brutal truth
You've worn that cross on your neck
Would you let that cross wear you?

This is the only way out
Don't hide the only way out
God died
He went to the ground
It was the only way out
Bloodshed
My only way down
Dark red
Your only way out
My head won't rest for a crown

This is the only way
