Assemblage 23 I Am The Rain Lyrics

I Am The Rain Lyrics

Too eager to appease
The cure is the disease
And it's only growing
worse

Day by day it takes its hold
Divides its cells a
thousand-fold
And makes your blindness seem perverse

Out of sight and
out of mind
Are deadly traits when they're combined
But it's easier that
way

Sit and watch the world go by
While all the problems
multiply
With nothing left to do but pray

I am the rain
Falling
down to cover you
Wish me away
But I'm here for your own good
I am the
storm
Sent to wake you from your dream
Show me your scorn
But you'll
thank me in the end

These amenities are nice
But there is need for
sacrifice
You must lose so you may gain

It's too easy to
malign
The implements that steal our time
But it's we who are to
blame

Fill your pockets while you can
And try to keep the upper
hand
The voice of reason sounds so shrill

Surround yourself with all
you own
Work your fingers to the bone
And happiness evades you
still

I am the rain
Falling down to cover you
Wish me away
But
I'm here for your own good
I am the storm
Sent to wake you from your
dream
Show me your scorn
But you'll thank me in the end

Too eager
to appease
You've lost the forest for the trees
And it really is a
shame

It is such a sorry sight
When you evaluate your life
You've
only got yourself to blame

I am the rain
Falling down to cover
you
Wish me away
But I'm here for your own good
I am the storm
Sent
to wake you from your dream
Show me your scorn
But you'll thank me in the
end
