[hometext] => What would happen if the rain decided it didn't like falling here?
[bodytext] => Tears caught on the ocean of doubt Don't be fooled, tomorrow there's to be drought The salt will be left behind in the water's evaporation Sign of our demise and the liquid's liberation. It's going up and we're staying down Watching it wistfully as it recieves its crown It will come back but it doesn't matter For now we hear no rain pitter patter. When the moon comes out in silent luminesence We're so self centered we don't notice the iridescence It's beautiful but how would we see When the salt refuses to let us be free. The world is suddenly a world of white You'll find yourself nowhere if you take flight Famine's a term that we bluntly deny But everyone knows its no use to try. When the sun comes up we've given up No water was there last night to fill our cup Dying and parched when the moon takes its leave Too late does the rain start to fall steadily.
