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 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
