Chains

I cry out for rain And change from what I became And change Change what remains I'm quenched of any flame And stripped of my name Resist the mortal draw of saccharine clues It's true that the more I fight, the more I will lose As nightfall falls, the time appears The time to rest unwanted fears again A baby screams and I can't sleep As foolish, childish worries dig in deep God, why can't I sleep Though harsh rain kills flame Embers cease to glow Floods can't hurt what lacks pain And maybe bears new life again Though indifferent storms will fill up my eyes Their blind rage and careless ways are their own demise For as they seek to drown me out and cast my breath to disarray I realize from the shuffled sands that fresh eyes will rise And though harsh rain kills flames The embers cease to glow You can't hurt what lacks pain And maybe bears new life again
