Too eager to appease
  The cure is the disease
  And it's only growing worse
  
  Day by day it takes its hold
  Divides its cells a thousandfold
  And makes your blindness seem perverse
  
  Out of sight and out of mind
  Are deadly traits when they're combined
  But it's easier that way
  
  Sit and watch the world go by
  While all the problems multiply
  With nothing left to do but pray
  
  I am the rain
  Falling down to cover you
  Wish me away
  But I'm here for your own good
  I am the storm
  Sent to wake you from your dream
  Show me your scorn
  But you'll thank me in the end
  
  These amenities are nice
  But there is need for sacrifice
  You must lose so you may gain
  
  It's too easy to malign
  The implements that steal our time
  But it's we who are to blame
  
  Fill your pockets while you can
  And try to keep the upper hand
  The voice of reason sounds so shrill
  
  Surround yourself with all you own
  Work your fingers to the bone
  And happiness evades you still
  
  I am the rain
  Falling down to cover you
  Wish me away
  But I'm here for your own good
  I am the storm
  Sent to wake you from your dream
  Show me your scorn
  But you'll thank me in the end
  
  Too eager to appease
  You've lost the forest for the trees
  And it really is a shame
  
  It is such a sorry sight
  When you evaluate your life
  You've only got yourself to blame
  
  I am the rain
  Falling down to cover you
  Wish me away
  But I'm here for your own good
  I am the storm
  Sent to wake you from your dream
  Show me your scorn
  But you'll thank me in the end
