lyrics

RAIN

Be still my fickly heart - let me shed my skin
have I torn we two apart - made my mess again
Love is a bastard, a ten-headed beast
but it lets me shed my skin
but pity me my dear, I’m the one left drowning
in my own rain

Love’s savage industry - will tear your sails apart
like the two things I fear most - love n’ failure
will burn your belly and freeze your heart
Love is a monster, a ten-headed freak
but it lets me shed my skin
so pity me my dear, I’m the one left drowning
in my own rain

Does it all boil down to this - a half-shook hand and stranger’s kiss
Does it all boil down to this - a half-held hand and birthday kiss
Does it all boil down to this - love was sent to make us drink
Does it all boil down to this - I’m the one left drowning
in my own rain

Does it all boil down to this…love was sent to make us drink and drink and drink and drink…….
