[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1]

You shatter me, your grip on me

A hold on me so dull it kills

You stifle me, infectious sense

Of hopelessness and prayers for rain

I suffocate, I breathe in dirt

And nowhere shines but desolate and drab

The hours all spent on killing time again

All waiting for the rain


[Verse 2]

You fracture me, your hands on me

A touch so plain, so stale it kills

You strangle me, entangle me

In hopelessness and prayers for rain

I deteriorate, I live in dirt

And nowhere glows but drearily and tired

The hours all spent on killing time again

All waiting for the rain


[Verse 3]

You fracture me, your hands on me

A touch so plain, so stale it kills

You strangle me, entangle me

In hopelessness and prayers for rain

Prayers for rain

Prayers for rain

Prayers for rain


[Instrumental Outro]
