By the falling rain
Clothes soaked sticky
They ran down the
Hidden creases and wrinkles
I've yet to find
I thought I could
Taste it, sickly sweet
But I had bitten
A hole in my cheek
Tongue the bleeding
And forget about the rain
My body damp, it changed
To a cold snowflake
It slowly passes by
And with a hesitant look
I taste the salty shame

I was just baptized
By the falling rain
Clothes soaked sticky
They ran down the
Hidden creases and wrinkles
I've yet to find
I thought I could
Taste it, sickly sweet
But I had bitten
A hole in my cheek
Tongue the bleeding
And forget about the rain
My body damp, it changed
To a cold snowflake
It slowly passes by
And with a hesitant look
I taste the salty shame
