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 reassuring, 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
