Red Rain Liturgy

Cold hands in the dark (ahhh)

Wet sleeves and a bitter spark

Red reflections in the puddles glow

Running water through my hair,

I go

Lipstick fading in the gray

Whispering words I cannot say

Mentally repeating what I hide

Walking with the secrets deep inside

Red rain, wash nothing away (wash nothing away)

Underneath the scarlet streetlights bright

Everything is washed in bloody light Repeating the confession in my head

To the empty pavement that I tread

Red rain, wash nothing away (wash nothing away)

I asked the water to forgive what only I remember

But the past remains cold like a dying ember

Every drop that touches my cold skin

Cannot clean the heavy weight within

So I walk beneath the crimson glow

Nowhere left for this regret to go

Red rain, wash nothing away

(wash nothing away)

I arrived clean and carried everything
