Floodgates

Started walking on the path that life was leading
 A destination chosen, not by myself alone
 I was following willingly
 Dreams of a new road, I could see
 My destination waiting, but I chose to rest as the drops began to fall
 Heavy with the weight of the world through misery
 I long for the calm before the rain
 I long for the calm before the rain
 The rain colours the lonely with a need to touch the sky but
 Here you'll find me through the looking glass
 I know the feeling well enough
 The sun gets left out in the cold
 There's always calm before the downpour
 I must be prepared and bold
 The sounds of the past will soon be heard
 Like bombs,
 they fall again and the heavens burst with remorse and regret
 I long for the calm before the rain
 I long for the calm before the rain
 The rain colours the lonely with a need to touch the sky
 It's weaving your heart with faith when the comfort of
 your lines are crossed and all of your pages have been turned
 Here you'll find me through the looking glass
 Now I won't wait for that storm to pass
 I left it behind, and walked away unsure if it will last
 I can never get back what I chose to throw away
 Choices made without the heart, now despised
 The rain colours the lonely with a need to touch the sky
 It's weaving your heart with faith when the comfort of
 your lines are crossed and all of your pages have been turned
 Here you'll find me through the looking glass
 Rains arrival I await now with pleasure
 Cleansing drops now become my treasure
 I scream out and the heavens tear
