Lyrics No Rain - Raleigh Ritchie

Lord, only crutch makes me nervous
And I'm stuck, good enough, I feel serpents
I'm pushin' away, pushin' away on purpose
'Cause I'm scared, unprepared, I feel worthless (oh, yeah)

I need focus, hocus-pocus to hold back the darkness
And I'm all in, calling, scrolling thorns and roses
It's easier to face away, 'cause I don't wanna waste a day
I'll never really raise the stakes, 'cause I'm lazy saving face (yeah)

We say, "No way, not in my name"
Wouldn't be smoke without flame, nothing grows with no rain
Nothing in my hands I can't claim, nothing on Earth I can't change
It wouldn't be birth without pain, I don't care what they say

'Cause it'll be alright, it's your life, it's your love, it's your life
It's your time, it's all good, it's all yours, it's all mine
It'll be alright, it's your life, it's your love, it's your life
It's all just a big game, live your life without shame (oh, yeah)

God only knows, love turns sour
Holy ghost, hold me close, give me power
And I'm pushin' away, pushin' away, and I cower
When I wake, fresh new slate, seeds to flowers (yeah)

I need focus, hocus-pocus to hold back the darkest
And I'm all in, calling, scrolling thorns and roses (oh-oh, yeah)

We say, "No way, not in my name"
Wouldn't be smoke without flame, nothing grows with no rain
Nothing in my hands I can't claim, nothing on Earth I can't change
It wouldn't be birth without pain, I don't care what they say

'Cause it'll be alright, it's your life, it's your love, it's your life
It's your time, it's all good, it's all yours, it's all mine
It'll be alright, it's your life, it's your love, it's your life
It's all just a big game, live your life without shame (oh, yeah)

It's easier to face away, 'cause I don't wanna waste a day
I'll never really raise the stakes, 'cause I'm lazy saving face

And we say, "No way, not in my name"
Wouldn't be smoke without flame, nothing grows with no rain
Nothing in my hands I can't claim, nothing on Earth I can't change
It wouldn't be birth without pain, I don't care what they say

'Cause it'll be alright, it's your life, it's your love, it's your life
It's your time, it's all good, it's all yours, it's all mine
It'll be alright, it's your life, it's your love, it's your life
It's all just a big game, live your life without shame (oh, yeah)
