Rain on Wet Asphalt

[Intro] [Vinyl Crackle] [Rain] [Heartbeat] [Verse: Intimate] The clock ticks slow across the wall My coffee's cold, I don't recall When last I drew a breath that felt Like something more than borrowed time I stole [Verse: Intimate] The shadow stretches toward the door It knows I won't walk out once more I wrap the silence 'round my bones And let the dark take what the light has worn [Chorus: Emotional] [Hook: Emotional] Darkness holds me closer than you ever did [End Hook] The rain don't judge the words I hid It seeps right through the cracks I've laid And washes all the choices I have made [Verse: Intimate] I trace the crack along the pane The water runs where it should rain On promises I couldn't keep On words that died before they learned to speak [Chorus: Emotional] [Hook: Emotional] Darkness holds me closer than you ever did [End Hook] The wind don't ask where I have been It carries all the weight I bear And strips away the lies I used to wear [Bridge: Vulnerable] I used to fight the pull of night I used to chase the morning light Now I know the dark don't bite It just holds you when you're too tired to fight [Instrumental Break] [Slide Guitar Solo] [Chorus: Powerful] [Hook: Emotional] Darkness holds me closer than you ever did [End Hook] My bones are wet, my soul is skinned I don't need light to find my way I've learned to breathe in where the shadows stay [Outro: Fading] [Rain] [Vinyl Crackle] The clock ticks slow, the dark stays in [Fading out]
