Come Watch the Rain

VERSE 1:
lies upon lies
with no reason or rhyme
when reality dies
the truth is just a state of mind
day after day
the relentless decay
when the color fades away
all that’s left is just a shade of gray
CHORUS:
i try to understand
but eulogies don’t comprehend
I know that now there’s nothing left to say
The day breaks
my mind aches
the moments I remember
Loving you
Is what I do
Outside it rains
The day breaks
my soul aches
a sudden burst of laughter
Loving you
Is all I do
Outside it rains
Come watch the rain
Let’s watch it rain
Come watch the rain
VERSE 2:
facts are not facts
and the newsman distracts
another mindless artifact
make it all too easy to react
And in the end
nothing left to defend
so we’ll all just pretend
maybe find ourselves a new friend

50 feet

inside the house, a doorbell rings
outside the reaper sits and grins
the pavement cracks, nothing ever is the same
dance on a cloud for fifty feet
the music stops, all things complete
the pavement cracks, all the colors turn to gray
Please make it all a dream
no more screams
can’t stand the pain
Please make it no more screams
it’s all a dream
no more pain
why won’t you come back?
when will you come back?
you took the sun away
and all that’s left is gray
why won’t you come back?
the moment came, was there any doubt?
did you see your mother scream and shout?
the pavement cracks, tracks of tears you leave behind
the moment passed without a fight
now there’s no more sun, just endless blight
the pavement cracks, you get to run away and hide

Summer Haze

Another catastrophe
The world a cacophony
So I drift inside of myself and i fade away
A feeling of anarchy
pervading the certainty
and the chill of silence burns in the summer haze
Oh my god, the sky is falling,
I'm on my feet but can't stop crawling
the sadness overwhelms the soul
La tee da, the sun is smiling
i'm on my knees I can't stop crying
the madness waits to take control
The landscape's a mystery
The ground shakes relentlessly
So I close my eyes and escape from the endless daze
The crowd’s a bit far away
The world’s a bit large today
And I lose myself in a puff in the summer haze
