Don't Fight The Rain

Monster living outside your door
Roaring to shake the ground
Beating his chest so run away
A hideout where you can't be found

Monster living outside your door
Banging his words around
What he says won't leave a bruise
But still it beats you down

I get so still
I get so scared
And I get so tired
Just putting up my hands
To protect my head

Monster living outside my door
Stomping cracks into my floor
Nothing makes him stop
My sin was being born

I am so still
I don't move
And I am so tired
What is he trying to prove

Movies and books
Tell fairy tales
Of people who get to be free
They struggle
To break from the pressing thumb
These stories aren't me

Monster breathing outside my door
Waiting to eat me whole
Monster breathing outside my head
Monster breathing his words in my head
Monster seething his words in my head
Devouring my soul
Don't try to pull me out
It's safer in my hole
I'll stay in my hole.

Don't breathe
Don't speak
Don't bleed
Don't eat
Don't blink
Don't look
Don't think
Don't push
Don't walk
Don't sit
Don't stand
Don't fight
Just go limp
Just stay limp
Don't fight the rain
Just stay down
It's all I can do
To just stay down

Don't fight the rain
It'll wear you down
Find someplace to hide
He'll wear you down
