[Showers of Sadness]
Showers of tears flood
these streets
From the rain clouds
below my eyelids
Wetting the path that I
chose to treadWith sudden tears
and endless sadnessSuicide stays tempting me
Glistening in the sparkling
waters behind me
Calling my name hypnoticallyBegging me to jump in
continuallyEndless pain, Night Rain
Background sounds of
people conversing
Stars blinding my eyes
again
Cars distracting my blue
visionLate night swimmers
swimmingMusic filling spectator's
ears
A Runway of beach
models modeling
Children eating peanuts
under a nightlapMe just being generally
sadEndless pain, Night Rain
I wish I could partake in
these beach activities
But my heart won't allow
me
For my mind it's busyTalking to the depression
within meLike long term friends
That have lost contact
Meeting for the first
time in years
Tellings tales that has
never been toldThat makes me the boy
cry in the coldEndless pain, Night Rain
I'm home alone all over
again
Laying in bed in agonizing
pain
Curling my toes like the
crescent moonSmiling continuously
like I'm a buffoonBut it's raining in my
soul once again
Like heavy rain in the
dry desert
Raining on the flood
of my sudden emotionsInto a sea of hurt and
depressionEndless pain, Night Rain
But I wish that I could
set fire to my Night Rain
And vanquish this deadly
pain that I'm experiencingBut I'm stuck in the maze
of your absenceLike a slave that can't find
redemption.
