RAIN by Tom Jensen
Rain...it makes the flowers grow
Rain...doesn't hide what it doesn't know
Rain...leads to floods look out below
Rain...don't say I didn't tell ya so
Pain...it doesn't always show
Pain...fills up what's empty and hollow
Pain...remembers names from long ago
Pain...better when it's dull and shallow
Such a dark and depressing day
Only time will tell if it will fade
All I know is that I'm uncertain
Will it ever lift?
This endless cloud...
This heavy curtain?
A heart once prone to give
Can now no longer trust
I proved you don't need love to live
Yet things inside begin to rust
You can dull your senses to suffering
If you feel you must
If you're like me you've given up on love
Now you settle for lust
I cut my arm only to watch it bleed
Just to see if anyone would take me
I spent a month inside a cold dark room
Just to see if it would break me
I built a house in the middle of the woods
Just to see if I could make it
I spent a whole year inside that cold dark room
Just to see if I could take it
And when it rained...
Sometimes it was heavy
Sometimes it was slow
Rain...when it came
At least I had somewhere to go
When it comes to pain...
You can only take so much before all feeling disappears
You start to grow numb
Soon dreams, reality and your darkest fears
All become one
And when that day comes...
This cold dark room will be waiting here
