a sudden wave appears
and it slaps you on the face
your smile insults your heart
the peace mocks your mind
maybe because they're sham
maybe because they're fleeting
you don't know for sure
it seems like you're dreaming
but the shower turns on
the river keeps gushing
you drain it with your hand
but the water keeps flowing
the next thing you know
your chest is convulsing
you're lying right there
having a hard time breathing
you stood on your shaking feet
wobbly walked towards the door
you took a hopeful step outside
but it rained woe some more
between morning and night
the whole world sleeps still
but the warm wind is listening
whirling leaves are waving
there's a wide gap in the sky
you scared the stars away
but a tower is looking over you
a red light reaches your face
it turned the shower off
and it closed the river down
it wondered if he'll ever see you
without the rain around
