(Listen to the damn song. It's one of the best this incredible band has to offer! ♡)
❝ ...And I know places that make the rainy days seem so bright,
I've been to all of them a few times...❞
You made the rain beautiful again. The clouds; soft, luscious. The lightning a magnificent firework show.
You made me love the stormy nights.
You fundamentally altered me.
❝...Steady on my troubled mind... ❞
Tread softly around me for I am more vulnerable than I seem.
More weathered than you know.
More scarred than I'll ever show.
More in love with you than I'll ever choose to let on.
❝...It's true, I'm a weeping willow...❞
I'm terribly emotional, especially when it comes to you.
❝...Just wanna fade, watch it all drift away as I make my big escape...❞
If I still drank I'd down all the whiskey in this ancient house. Slide all the sleeping pills and codeine-laced painkillers down my raw throat.
Brand my skin with the fire-heated element of a lighter.
Instead, I emblazon the world with my writing.
This has become my catharsis, my release of you.
You and I will die. These moody extracts about you will become the only thing immortalised in our absence.
❝...Leaning on my wounded pride; not the way I was designed...❞
I was once proud. I once submitted to none. Yielded to fewer.
Now I implore you to love me.
I am pathetic and wish I could be more apathetic.
❝...You've left me with an empty heart tonight...❞
Who will reside in my heart now? Since you've insisted upon emigrating and evicting me from yours.
