Memories, brought back by the light Fills my head with grief Joy of light darkens my sight Clouds my fake self belief The sun obscures my safety Drown me in cleansing rain Make me blind so I may see The way to steer away from pain I want to see it pouring, the absolution it brings The sound is so rea**uring, the way my salvation sings The sun is pain, drown me in holy rain To help me bury my past To leave behind what is haunting my mind At peace with myself at last I'm like a dark ghost in hiding Too scared to face the light I'll stay on this side of the line that's dividing The threatening day and the comforting night So maybe I am a victim of my sorrow and fear Eagerly open when the poison kicked in To addicted when the end was near That's why I need the pouring rain to shelter my heart Out in the light, the danger is luring, I should have known from the start The sun is pain, drown me in holy rain To help me bury my past To leave behind what is haunting my mind At peace with myself at last
