When I was a kid, I lived in fear
Of razorblades in the candy and Bloody Mary in the mirror
Now when I taste something sweet
The flavor of metal is overwhelming me
And I try to hide from the rain
Falling inside me again
And all these storms, they never seem to end
Our summers spent on trampolines
With the lawn darts impaling the groomed fields of green
And the only truth I’ve ever found
Is that everything that ascends will soon come crashing down
And I’ve tried to hide from the rain
Falling inside me again
And all these storms, they never seem to end
They never seem to end
It takes just a little light
It takes just a little light
To find its way through the cracks
On the darkest of nights
It takes just a little faith
It takes just a little faith
But nothing happens every time I pray
And I try to hide from the rain
Falling inside me again
And all these storms, they never seem to end
They never seem to end
And I’ve tried to hide from the rain
Falling inside me again
And all these storms, they never seem to end
They never seem to end
