Prayers for Rain

The Cure

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 

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
