Black Rain

I never meant to need you

like this

Like a wound that won't close

You came in quiet,

all velvet and sin

And left your name in my

bones

I try to walk away in

the daylight

But the dark knows my name

Every time I swear I'm finished

You pull me under again

So let it fall,

this black rain

Drown the world,

wash out the pain If love

is a curse,

then curse me again

Just stay with me

In the black rain Black rain

Black rain

I wear your absence like a

second skin

Fits too well to take off

You ruin me slow,

then call it devotion

And I still say it's enough

There's no salvation in the way

you touch me

No light left in your eyes

But I'd rather burn in your

shadow Than freeze out here in

the light

So let it fall,

this black rain

Drown the world,

wash out the pain If love

is a curse,

then curse me again

Just stay with me

In the black rain Black rain

Black rain

I don't want pure,

I don't want safe I want

the version of you that only

comes out when the lights die

Keep me,

break me Just don't leave me

clean

So let it fall,

this black rain

Drown the world,

wash out the pain If love

is a curse,

then curse me again Just stay

with me

In the black rain Black rain

Black

rain
