You Never Know

2013 · Zack Smith

She said, “Get away, get, get away… Get away from me now. I don’t know anyone. There ain’t a soul here I can trust in this town. Everybody’s waiting for the train to come and take them away. All aboard now! I’m gonna lay down, let it take me too. I’ll never be found… No, no, no no.” Oh, you never know when it comes Tears a hole in your home The demolition’s begun Oh, but when the cyclone appears Can’t even grab what you hold dear Can’t even run “I lost everything that day. God threw all my cares away. I can’t see it – I won’t believe that there’s an end nor any need for this pain. I don’t know what the game is but I don’t want any part just the same, No, no, no, no.” Oh, a flame’s small when it starts But it’ll burn through your heart It doesn’t know what you’ve done Ah, it breaks out in a flash You gotta sift through the ashes To find what you’ve become Oh, oh… You never know where you are 'til you can’t run away You never see 'til the smoke fills the house where you’ve stayed You can’t rest without bare ground on your face Oh, you won’t see where it’s from When your life’s come undone When a part of you dies True, you never know what it’s worth To put your tears in the earth Sit down there and cry You will surely be found For there’s a seed in that ground Needs water to thrive…
