{intro}
{comment: the following as above}
Oh God, it's raining
And I'm not containing
My pleasure at being
So wet
Bere on my own
All on my own
Bow good it feels to be alone
Tonight
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
The moon
Is shining in the sky
Reminding me
Of so many other nights
When my eyes have been so red
I've been mistaken for dead
But not tonight
