lyrics

In the rain, I can breathe and expect that in the cold
I'll long for warmth, until it snows again.
While you were waiting for the clouds to wrestle with your doubts, the sun took note.
It hid behind the sky, and the grey could not rely on empathy.

The desert only offers a glimpse of its own darkness,
and it mocks you with its barren life.
While you were walking in the light, oppression half in sight, it blinded you.
You threw away the clouds so the sun visibly shrouds your fantasy.

As the sun and the rain shelter you, I can't find the mirage hiding you.
Where did you go? I'll never know your oasis.

I ran away. I was scared I'd never find out what was mine.
My integrity had only drank from yours.
I longed to irrigate myself.

You clung with thirsty claws that reached across the neglected rivers that I swam.
It seemed like you were trying to drown me,
so I drowned myself.

And as I struggled with escape, your silhouette took shape and blinded me.
Now reality is chilled by the sun the desert killed and I'm thirsty.

As the sun and the rain shelter me
I can sense the mirage leaving me.
Why did you go? You'll never know my asylum.
