Rise - Lalah Hathaway

Rise (The Dog Barks)
Ryan Cabrera
Winding down, tying up
In this waxed and empty box
Twisted nights, drowned in wine
Dropping shots in empty bars
Broken glass, moments past
Hold now, the dog barks
Broken windows, broken doors
Broken chairs on broken floors
All these things remind me of you
I rise away, don't feel no pain
'Cause you're with me now
In time it seems a slower song
It's a perfect sound
Sleep right through the day and we fade away
You flow right through my veins
Like a morning rain
Like a morning rain, yeah
Down the stairs to neon rooms
Blink eyes and cheap perfumes
All these strangers getting strange
Feeding off each other's pain
I crawl inside, inside my head
Rusty springs and burning beds
Frozen people, frozen lungs
Frozen buildings block the sun
All these things remind me of you
I rise away, don't feel no pain
'Cause you're with me now
In time it seems a slower song
It's a perfect sound
Sleep right through the day and we fade away
Flow right through my veins
Like a morning rain
Like a morning rain, yeah
Alone, my home, away from you
Alone, my home, a wasted view
Alone, my home, away from you
I rise away, don't feel no pain
'Cause you're with me now
In time it seems a slower song
It's a perfect sound
Sleep right through the day and we fade away
Flows right through my veins
Like a morning rain
Like a morning rain, yeah
Like a morning rain
Like a morning rain, yeah
Like a morning rain
Like a morning rain
Like a morning rain
