Are you strong enough to stand against the rain? Feet firmly planted in the ground braced against this hurricane Stormy winds howling, screaming like some demented train Where sights and sounds Accompany the sensational pulse of pain Display an ability to sustain And thus look into the void and proclaim Resilience is the key to attaining longevity A formula that's known by all Trouble is in trying Bills that you just end up buying Apparition hands every time I touch you I am burning alive inside Holding only emptiness And a heart that you just can't buy Far too late I realized That when you spoke of love you spoke true But you spoke of another Not me, not once, nobody, no not ever Waiting on the light to shine down upon your feats of righteousness You're so divine (divine) Was there ever a thing That you prized more than life? Someone who turned you around So exquisitely you could not feel the cold? I know we only love to cause pain Yes and no, to and fro, here we go again Destruction, ruination seem to be my only friends It was the dwindling hope of love I struggled to maintain I am the fool who follows hopelessness In the certainty of defeat The only victory to remain? The endless search for sight will forever go unattained And the only sound? The laughter of a tragedy incomplete
