The Falling of the Rain

by Curing the Comon Cliche   Apr 15, 2008


Cold black rain
Inside your mind?
Trying to start a fire
With anything you can find

It's been cold a long long time
Cold tries to numb the pain
Hard to start a fire
In your cold black rain

Hard to avoid crying
Raindrops hide all tears
Hard to avoid screaming
Rainfall drowns your fears

Rainfall is a deafening noise
The falling of the rain
Puts the raindrops in your head
Cold puddles in your brain

Hard to see the silver line
Thats supposed to be on every cloud
When cold rain and lightning
Are crashing their way down

Hard to see anything
So many tears in your eyes
Not much to see really
Pitch black rain, darker skies

Shivering in your state of cold
Irony: numbness leads to pain
Too hard to start a fire
In the falling of the rain

As it starts raining harder
You look up to the sky
Do your part to count the drops
Add the tears you cry

You noticed something long ago
Every time the black rain starts
The raindrops form a melody
In tune with your heart

As you look up to the sky
But those are not raindrops
Those are shards of broken glass
Every time your cold heart stops

"Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain"
~Guns N' Roses- November Rain

    As it starts raining harder
    You look up to the sky
