Rain

Frozen by the depths of darkness
Creeping in to find you defenceless.
But it never leaves you, never lies,
It's all beauty and all life. 

Pain is patient, Pain is kind
Pain has love on its mind.
Look for light, trust in the dark
Not one without the other,
No beauty without rain. 

So scorn me and drown me 
Hold me in the grip 
Of a thousand vices over my head 
Crush me and taunt me take me away
Give me the guts to break free and run 

Beauty in the depths of despair 
broken bones and silver hair 
Keep me alive, keep me out of sin 
Lock the door, don't let me in.
