Need to gather all the pieces and to center my thoughts
Visualize you close to me
Cos you know baby I can't see you through a dark night
Such a fine line that you walk
Rain keeps pouring acid on my skin
And my soul turns into metal
She has turned this bed into a tomb
And brought death right through to me
I have stayed in your solar lights
Stayed so long that I'm too blind
Way too blind to see myself
Way too weak that I could tell
I have never felt a rain like this before
Never thought that I could drown in you
Stayed too long in your solar lights
Such a beautiful shade in a beautiful lie
All the city lights and answers in the halos they form
Such a sad sad sight to see
I have seen her in a portrait of a dark light
Such a fine line that she walks
I have shattered pages but remembered
Thanks to her I'm made of metal
She has took this soul for a ride
But it's way too late for me
Drops of pain rain down
Don't let me drown
I have stayed in your solar lights
Stayed so long that I'm too blind
Way too blind to see myself
Way too weak that I could tell
I have never felt a rain like this before
Never thought that I could drown in you
Stayed too long in your solar lights
Such a beautiful shade in a beautiful
Why don't you kill me?
Take a little more
Why don't you scream when I drown in you?
(Oh God I've) stayed too long in your solar lights
