silver rain

A man tells me
I should place faith
Not what’s in the sky but what I see
That I should take my weight
Off the world
And let it turn for me

Let the games begin
This time I’m gonna let you win
Shaving points off my own score
Pin the blame on me
You know it’s true

Was it as good for you?
Could it be purity
Why wait for the ecstasy
Get out in the silver rain
The sun is shimmering
Awash in change and
Gravity brings it all down
Blue blazing glory and
Speed that has no sound

Where are you going to?
Everyone else is running forward
While you are standing still
Why can’t you keep up when
We all get our fill
Go drown in the silver rain
The road keeps glimmering

What is eating away at you?
Consume
You went through the motions
Of course you always knew
Now there’s nothing left for you
So drink the ocean
Go drink the ocean
And spit it all out

They say
It’s the way of the future
They say
It’s the wave of the future
Silver rain
It’s the way of the future
Silver rain
It’s the wave of the future
Silver rain
It’s the way
