I Am The Rain

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 thousandfold

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

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
