Storm

When the rain drops fall on the ground
I look up into the sky to see
Where is the rainbow, where is the sun

Why all the stories end the same way
With silent regrets and no wish to stay
Why the mirror lies broken
Why all the words left unspoken
Where is the way back in time
To erase every tear, every lie

Silently I whisper a wish through the night
To reach the memory resting still deep inside
A tiny lost moment forever hidden in my heart

We choose the wrong paths
Make foolish mistakes
Write those letters with best regards
Hoping for no answers
Seeking the truth we ask the runes and the cards
But never ask ourselves

Look deep into your heart to find within
The one deepest secret memory
That makes you feel the darkest misery

I look in the mirror to see
What I ever used to be
And what I’ve become now
Asking myself “But how?”
We all are lost in some way
But once we chose to stay

We live through the pain and hidden memories
To feel the moment of our misery
Deep within where none can see
What we ever could be

Tell me what you see looking in the mirror
Turning loose your heart in the dreamless world
Burn down within that memory
That makes you feel lost and weak
Fall down into your deepest sin
To know it’s all just a dream

I see the sky getting clear and blue again
There is no storm, no tears, no pain
Life goes on still taking all the cold away
