The Cure - Prayers for Rain lyrics

rate me

you shatter me

your grip on me

a hold on me

so dull it kills

you stifle me

infectious sense

of hopelessness and

prayers for rain

i suffocate

i breathe in dirt

and nowhere shines

but desolate

and drab the hours all spent

on killing time again

all waiting for

the rain

you fracture me

your hands on me

a touch so plain

so stale it kills

you strangle me

entangle me

in hopelessness and

prayers for rain

i deteriorate

i live in dirt

and nowhere glows

but drearily and tired

the hours all spent

on killing time again

all waiting for

the rain
