Tears in the Rain

I feel like I might be

A little bit not myself

I got this side of me

That can't be cast out

The cloth I'm cut from is always calling

How long I've wanted someone else's skin to crawl in

Graced with a gift that I can't say I wanted

Down came the rain, the sound of my solace

When no stars can be found, I'll wish upon a cloud

But don't you cry for me

I've already shed enough

And I will find no peace

In watching the world go by

I was left behind to rot

But the wrath inside

Can wash away the pain

Like tears in the rain

I promised to protect you

Heart crossed when I made it

As long as I can fix you

I won't have to break it

Every night I'm haunted by the life I lost

A gift that was busted right out of the box

But I paid the price, so dry your eyes

And no one cry for me

I've already shed enough

The devil I don't see

Is the one always by my side

If I can't replace what broke

Then I'll pray that time

Erodes away the pain

Like tears in the rain

You gave me claws, I can't let go

I have a cause, unlike these animals

Take off your mask, I see your soul

No strings attached, give me control!

I was once subdued with song

But from now on, all I hear

Are the screams that aren't my own

Become music to my ears

This blessing wasn't sent from above

What's born of agony

Is stronger than love

So don't you cry for me (spare me no sorrow)

I've already shed enough (what's done is done)

And now I've found my peace (wait for tomorrow)

In letting it all unwind (that never comes)

I was left behind to rot (the reaper's knocking)

Only wrath inside (what keeps you walking?)

No fear of mine remains (watch it all go up in flames)
