After The Rain
Song & Lyrics: Stephan Lipp
You never held back the violence
You taught me how to be good
Your words unspoken in silence
And though I tried hard I did nothing the way I have should
There is a breath on my pillow
While I am bleeding alone
Blood red stains on the window
I wonder how someone can claim this abyss is a home
But then I’m feeling guilty
And I try to take care of myself
I touch the empty inside me
And fill it with dreams that I borrowed from somebody else
After the rain
there is nothing left but a crack in the silence
After the rain
there is no chance for change in a life full of tyrants
I wish I could not remember
I wish I vanished at night in a haze
In this pocket of embers
sometimes the war starts after the rain
I hear your steps on the carpet
Lurching to my retreat
This is where it all started
A secret that’s buried so deep underneath the white sheets
And when I cry you get angry
Shut the noise and keep still
And your eyes looking through me
I’m lying awake in the dark and attune to your will
But then I’m feeling useless
And I try to be somebody else
I touch the empty inside me
I fill it with dreams that I do not allow to myself
After the rain
there is nothing left but a crack in the silence
After the rain
there is no chance for change in a life full of violence
I wish I could not remember
I wish I vanished at night in a haze
In this pocket of embers
sometimes the war starts after the rain
And when the dreams have come
I feel so weak and numb
Cause deep inside my mind
I’m longing for another life
After the rain
there is nothing left but a crack in the silence
After the rain
there is no chance for change in a life without guidance
I wish I could not remember
I wish I vanished at night in a haze
In this pocket of embers
sometimes the war starts after the rain
