|
Even though |
|
I know it's only chemical |
|
These peaks and valleys are beginning to take their toll |
|
Try to convince myself that all it takes is time |
|
But the most derisive voice |
|
I hear is mine |
|
It opens all the scars on me |
|
It leaves me shaken in my belief |
|
It takes my hand just to drag me down |
|
It makes me a stranger in the crowd |
|
Give me isolation just for now |
|
I feel a hard rain coming down |
|
I promise that |
|
I will be back soon |
|
But for now |
|
I'll return to my cocoon |
|
There is thunder in the distance and the sky grows gray |
|
There is lightning in the clouds in search of prey |
|
It's not a matter of if as much as when |
|
The clouds will break and the rainfall will begin |
|
It opens all the scars on me |
|
It leaves me shaken in my belief |
|
It takes my hand just to drag me down |
|
It makes me a stranger in the crowd |
|
Give me isolation just for now |
|
I feel a hard rain coming down |
|
I promise that |
|
I will be back soon |
|
But for now |
|
I'll return to my cocoon |
|
Cracks in the chrysalis spread out like tiny snakes |
|
That hiss a litany of rumors and mistakes |
|
But I'm afraid their cause is fraught with futility |
|
There is nothing more that they can take from me |
|
It opens all the scars on me |
|
It leaves me shaken in my belief |
|
It takes my hand just to drag me down |
|
It makes me a stranger in the crowd |
|
Give me isolation just for now |
|
I feel a hard rain coming down |
|
I promise that |
|
I will be back soon |
|
But for now |
|
I'll return to my cocoon |
