Lyrics: 

I want my pain back
I want the world to see
There’s nothing you can choose
Nothing you can lose
Except your free will to be
Better off as a stable boy
Better off as a picture on the wall
Better off believing you’re a ghost
Than believing you can think at all
This may sound confused
But it feels good to me
I may be alive, but I’m tired.
And I’m right about ready to shout
And so no

CHORUS
Rain for awhile
Rain for awhile
Cuz on your front porch
Is a letter from me
Revealing my own hell

So I’ll change when the timings right
The time time’s always few
And far below
The right time’s always wondering
Where to go, what to show
The world is on fire, and baby it’s too
Good. I should not control my way to be
It’s plain to see, gonna be, and I’m right
About ready to shout no so no no

CHORUS
Rain for awhile
Rain for awhile
Cuz on your front porch
Is a letter from
And the world is a girl
In a beauty form
And a race is a place
Where it’s singled out

So believe in yourself
Don’t wait for ground to break
Don’t wait for ground
It’s okay to feel alone.
It’s ok to feel not strong
Once in awhile
Cuz I keep telling myself
What to feel.
I play make believe until it’s real
Most of the time
Because this was never too friendly to me.
Somehow change just avoided to greet me
Completely
And so when reality’s taken its toll, just
Not in control
Complacency
It’s ok to feel alone,
It’s ok to feel not strong
Once in awhile

Awsome

One of my favourites on the new album.
