Lyrics

Tar-black clouds reign my mind tonight

Forming slowly in fruition

My eyes lost in the foggy windows

Of this nighttime van

My mind swirling

To broken oaths, mindless missteps

And shorthanded schemes

That brought me to this hell

There's the last nail in my coffin

Just waiting for the last hit on the head

God save my soul

I swear I'm gonna do it this time


And I love you to the bones

But a flourishing garden may still turn to a wilted rose

And doubts still eat me up to the core

That in the sands of time, I don't stand a chance

And you'd come to understand

I'm hopeless and too weak for us

And I'd be left alone and frozen

In this dim-lit restaurant

Wondering how I lost everything at once


Six hours flew and I'm still here

Holding on to your words you'll be here

I have nowhere else and no one else

Sick hearts don't blend well with fear

Past loves and epitaphs are quite a stir

Should I really go through a thousand hells?

And the rains can't drown out

The noise of screaming voices so loud

A convention of ghosts uprising in my mind


And all my life, I've been suspicious

Of people's intentions

Until you

I've been so used to being used

That all kindness I have refused

But not from you

My fall from grace and tonight's storms

Must be enough for you to desert

I'd collect my things and beaten self

From the cold empty table

Say goodbye to everything that holds

I would

But then there you are

Rain-soaked and smiling, standing outside


There you are

My safe haven and shining knight

Fully drenched from braving the storm

Travelled for six hours with a dead phone

Just to meet my fucking mess of a soul

"What's wrong?" you uttered mid-dinner

I said, "I'll tell you later" But to tell

God's honest truth is a struggle

I can't risk this love turn to rubble

If this is the last night of us, It will be the last of mine

I can't spend a lifetime getting over you


But you're the one

I can cleanse and confess my soul into

I've lost trust in churches one decade ago

And so, I break myself into pieces

Splattered across our hotel room in this city

All my failed schemes and undoing divulged

I cry, "I am to blame" I freeze in the end

With my body submerged

At the thought of your abandonment

But you just smile

You take my hand and plant a kiss

I hold out one hand from forming a fist

Without a word, you pull me in

I feel all heaviness lifted and my demons flee

We fall in silence and my dark clouds cleared

Like a surreal baptism, I've been cleaned


I thought the pain was gonna come

But you've dried the rain away

I'll be getting over you my whole life
