Your perusing gaze delved deep beneath the surface of my shaking sanity,
like icy rain, unceasingly stinging my skin, reminiscent of razor blades
Only your words always ran deeper, leagues beneath the depths of my soul's vanity,
buried beneath scars and unspoken promises, forever flowing through my vains

Recalling a painful experience, savoring the burn of wounds long forgotten
If only you could see yourself through my eyes, what has been eternally stenciled,
maybe then these tears would mean something more than insincere compensation
For I have traced your heart one thousand times over, and it is far from reconciled

Will you weather this desolate storm with me, place your faith in my being
Let my voice carry you to safer shores, like yours has done for me time and time again
Know a star will rise for you, a star of hope, as one will rise for me,
and know the ride was worth it, when you close your eyes, and see me in the end

I want to drown in your eyes again
But I'm drowning in your memories

It may rain when you're here
But it pours when you're away
If I can stay above the water
Will lightning strike me anyway

Please remember dearest,
In any storm, happiness is only a rainbow away

A straight shot in the heart
Will you drown me in your rainbow?
