I'm awakened by the sound Of rain against my window It's getting harder to ignore But these tired eyes need rest Scattered light through broken windows Far beneath fluorescent skies Voices calling from a distance So why am I still standing here? The tense, electric hum abides The wires meant to contain it Until it arcs through angry skies That look down with contempt Scattered light through broken windows Far beneath fluorescent skies Voices calling from a distance So why am I still standing here? Rivers overflow their banks And change their course forever Force their will upon the earth And wash it all away Scattered light through broken windows Far beneath fluorescent skies Voices calling from a distance So why am I still standing here?
