Slanted Rain

written by: OurSacredHonor

Watching slanted rain
Pound against a sewer drain
Contemplating my next move

Thinking of the past
Wishing it hadn't gone so fast
Hoping in the end that I won't lose

Sinking in the quicksand
Of societies each and every demand
Wandering down the path I choose

Losing myself and losing ground
Feeling my heart and my head pound
Trying not to be so damn confused

And this slanted rain
It's driving
It's driving against the window pain
It's driving
It's driving me insane
It's driving
It's driving deeper and deeper into my pain
I can't help but hate
It's crooked ways
And I can't help but hope
That this slanted rain
Will go away

So here I sit again
Watching slanted rain
Rearranging all these words in my head

Thinking of tomorrow
While drowning in my sorrow
Maybe I'd be better off dead

Regret and disillusion
Surrounded by confusion
In disbelief of all that I have said

My vision is blurred
Why can't my sickness be cured?
Suddenly all I see is red

And this slanted rain
It's driving
It's driving against the window pain
It's driving
It's driving me insane
It's driving
It's driving deeper and deeper into my pain
I can't help but hate
It's crooked ways
And I can't help but hope
That this slanted rain
Will go away

I've got a slanted view
Of you
And me
I can't see
Straight
I can't relate
Don't wanna debate
My fate
I wanna rearrange
And change
My reality
Make it right for me
Make me see
Clearly
Fearlessly
But this downpour of rain
Coming like a freight train
Of weight that I can't take
It's gonna shake me
And break me
And take me whole
I've lost control
Of myself
And everything else
In my life
Just give me the knife
I'll beg and plead
For the demons to take me
Out of my own misery
Set me free
Bleed this out of me
Like this rain that is pouring
Like vultures soaring
Waiting for their prey
On it's dying day
I'm ready so come take me away

And this slanted rain
It's driving
It's driving against the window pain
It's driving
It's driving me insane
It's driving
It's driving deeper and deeper into my pain
I can't help but hate
It's crooked ways
And I can't help but hope
That this slanted rain
Will go away

And this slanted rain
It's driving
This slanted rain
Won't go away
It's driving
This slanted rain
Won't go away
It's driving
This slanted rain
Won't go away
It's driving
This slanted rain
Won't go away
It's driving
It's driving
It's driving
It's driving
