I Am The Rain Lyrics - Assemblage 23

Too eager to appease 

The cure is the disease 

And it's only growing worse 

Day by day it takes its hold 

Divides its cells a thousandfold 

And makes your blindness seem perverse 

Out of sight and out of mind 

Are deadly traits when they're combined 

But it's easier that way 

Sit and watch the world go by 

While all the problems multiply 

With nothing left to do but pray 

CH 

I am the rain 

Falling down to cover you 

Wish me away 

But I'm here for your own good 

I am the storm 

Sent to wake you from your dream 

Show me your scorn 

But you'll thank me in the end 

These amenities are nice 

But there is need for sacrifice 

You must lose so you may gain 

It's too easy to malign 

The implements that steal our time 

But it's we who are to blame 

Fill your pockets while you can 

And try to keep the upper hand 

The voice of reason sounds so shrill 

Surround yourself with all you own 

Work your fingers to the bone 

And happiness evades you still 

(CH) 

Too eager to appease 

You've lost the forest for the trees 

And it really is a shame 

It is such a sorry sight 

When you evaluate your life 

You've only got yourself to blame
