Testo Tour vans and neurosis Darlene Zschech

Tour vans and neurosis

with another foot closer

to the preverbial ledge

with another broken heart

and busted edge

with another empty promise

that i know i can't keep

and another fading night

because i know i can't sleep

with everything you are

and everything i'm not

with everything i've lost

and all these vices i've got

with every waking second

of every fucking day

with all these haunting voices

that i wish would go away

and i am praying for rain

to fall down on me

and wash off the pain

that i've grown to need

i am praying for rain

to fall down on me

they say it's cleansing

and i believe

they say regret looks back

confusion looks around

they say faith looks to the sky

so i focus on the ground

cause i'm stepping on the cracks

practicing what i can say

just to try to make it better

or just make it ok

and i am praying for rain

to fall down on me

and wash off the pain

that i've grown to need

i am praying for rain

to fall down on me

they say it's cleansing

and you ask

"are you mad at me?"

and i confirm

you don't even bother asking why

you're unconcerned

from kicking you out

to kissing in the rain

this life is like a bad romance movie

so goodbye to old lovers

goodbye to this town

goodbye to my friends

who feel they once knew me well

cause i got me some songs

and i got me a band

and i got me a day job

to buy me a van

and i'm leaving this town

and you people i hate

and i'll smile to myself

as we hit the next state

and i am praying for rain

to fall down on me

and wash off the pain

that i've grown to need

someone turn down the sun

bring me some night

i can't stand the way

i look in this daylight

i am praying for rain

to fall down on me

and wash off the pain

that i've grown to need

i am praying for rain

to fall down on me

they say it's cleansing

and i believe

they say that miracles never cease

well i am totally alone

they say the history just repeats and repeats

i am once again on my own
