dampened by a false rain
that the leaves now let descend
stirred by a midnight wind
and i grow disenchanted
with the earth beneath my tread
and in skies overhead
so i climb a metal stair
in simple hopes to disappear
how long will you keep me waiting
wearried by the thoughts that
still hold you near
and can you feel it, soft as lamplight
yet still more unyielding
than the voice that calls
please stop there�s nothing left
and can you hear it in the distance
calling you and pulling you
to a life that you left
because it threatened to drag you down
can you see it, softer than the rainfall
or a lovers gaze that you broke
from the fear that it threatened to let you drown
and in the end there�s
so much more to say
and in your words i find disillusion
arms wide and eyes shut tight
and life�s too demanding, it takes too much
i miss your torture, i miss your touch
and that light from your eyes
that once promised to guide my way
is so far away from here
the deceit from your lies
that left me in this pain
echoes softly in my ears
and can you feel it, soft as lamplight
yet still more unyielding
than the voice that calls
please stop there�s nothing left
and can you hear it in the distance
calling you and pulling you
to a life that you left
because it threatened to drag you down
can you see it, softer than the rainfall
or a lovers gaze that you broke
from the fear that it threatened to let you drown
and in the end there�s
nothing more to say
morning broke as i crept pulling cobwebs from my brain
reliving nights of childish tears
and the lies that i held in secret wracked my frame
they left me shaken, and unclear
if i could ask one question, it would simply be
are you listening?
i beg you now, please end this rain
wind, take my cloven footprints
and paint my tongue with rust
once i faultered an expression
thinking of eternal dust
you took my will to love you
you took my will to trust
you want me when you cannot have me
your in a state of wanderlust
and the light from your eyes
that once promised to guide my way
is so far away from here
the deceit from your lies
that left me in this pain
please end this rain
