Weather

On our way to oblivion 

Watching the stars sway

We'll hook our fingers together 

And feel the world pull away

Riding it out for better weather

But the weather doesn't stay

It leaves us empty, this everlasting void 

Fills us up with barren space

Seeps in through your eyes

Pushing tears down my face

I've never felt such defeat 

Or given up so much before

But I have given all of me

With no strength left to restore

Losing all but one simple plea:

Why can't you give me any more?

In the end, it's only pain

As dramatic as that seems

The price of life, love, hope -

Nothing but a shattering of dreams

On our way to awareness 

Watching our convictions sway

We'll let go again 

And regret pulling away

Returning always after the rain 

For the weather doesn't stay
