Rain on the Coast by Ghost Heart Lyrics

Oh what a sickening feeling
Helpless in more ways than one
Oh how fragile a life can be
And how strange that another can send it
Collapsing to nothing
Cold and numb to the world
As it stalks in the back of your mind
And the selfishness
Of the sadness
In a time where a loved one could die

Sudden fits of anger cut away at our lives
Making it hard to hold these pieces together
Not a semblance
Of the hopes of yesterday
Blood is draining from the moment the sound
Strikes you dead in your tracks
And you're frozen
Without comfort;
No direction
Just confusion and fear
And you've got nowhere to go
That it cannot find you
The shape is looming
Shadows dance upon the walls as you lay motionless
Now I see that even the strongest of us
Can be thrust into peril
Saddening ceremonies conducted in hospital beds
There's nowhere to hide anymore;
This grief has teeth and this pain has claws
Tear me down and scatter the pieces
Hopelessness hangs like a fog
On these dark nights
I doubt the dawn
An irreparable state is where I find myself
Buried deep in the guilt that I have my health

Vacantly staring out into the streets
Seeing the passing faces
And their happy smiles
Juxtaposed with my expressionless display
And the silence that swallows the room
Well I can't escape it
It reminds me that nothing is safe
But you don't deserve this
I'm failing in my silence
Consumed by all of this
So sudden and overwhelming
But you know you've got to live
Please hold my hand
Make me feel safe again
And I'll do my best to
Do the same for you
