Tasting Salt On the Rain

On the brink of a raging storm
Trying to hide my pain
Feeling it all slip away
Tasting salt on the rain

I can’t help free-falling down
For reality is rarely plain
And I am losing all control
Tasting salt on the rain

I am familiar with suffering
‘Cause life has taught me pain
Now I am standing in the storm
Tasting salt on the rain

Tears are falling I didn’t know I held
Pouring, though I tried to refrain
Swallowed the hurt and hid it deep
Tasting salt on the rain

Standing on the brink of breaking
Knowing I can’t hide the pain
Letting go of my caged emotion
Tasting salt on the rain

I am shattered, over the edge
I’m afraid that I’m going insane
I’m too far gone, lost in the storm
Tasting salt on the rain
