Every Day is Rain

Red lights and closed eyes
Forced smiles and small words
Crawling for a thousand miles
Struggling through the storm

In the middle of a devastating war
But the enemy can't be seen
Peace and resolution seem so far
Just can't break free

Some prisons you never leave
Trapped in an endless dark
Every day you'll always grieve
Every tear will leave a mark

Every breath hurts like hell
And every thought is pain
Every sound a tolling bell
And every day is rain

Everything is falling apart
Drowning in rain and fire
When you think it's the end it's just the start
And the waves keep rising higher

Shards of Glass

Open eyes but there's no light
A deep breath but it's not air
Short days and endless nights
So many people but one not there

Memories steal every thought
Pain fires every breath
So many battles fought
And so many deaths

Every breath is a rattling gasp
Each word a war
Every tear a shard of glass
Each smile a door

Be strong and stay alive
As iron walls rust to the ground
Time will tame the fire
And the sun will come around

Escape the Storm

In darkness demons hide
Broken mirrors of a fading past
Keep holding onto life
And a love built to last

Keep fighting each day
Through the storm, the haze
You'll find your way
Through the burning maze

Can't escape
But you can make it your place
Accept the endless pain
Give up the chase
And welcome the rain

Embrace the storm
Let loose the rage
Broken and torn
Destroy your cage

Set the fire to your fears
Claim the memories lost
Treasure all your tears
Remember what they cost
