Prayers For Rain

You shatter me
Your grip on me
A hold on me
So dull it kills

You stifle me
I nfectious 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 forThe rain


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 forThe rain

The Cure
