Pools That Swell With the Rain

I stand there grasping the last threads of light There's silence although it invites the Glorious sound of the world still sleeping I dream of gazes so careless and tender A red silhouette of surrender And flashing a smile as she leans in closer Oh this might hurt a little A blaze that bursts like the first day of winter She says it's alright as the city's burning I lost all that she gave me The chorus tangles my brain though I still hear Just what I wanted to Oh my dear although you reach me I see your reflection clearly There she stands alone so precious Looking beautiful and treacherous These are only desires at the start I believe that I'm breaking apart To find we're all made up of streams of sunlight Colors tossing the currents The beauty has rendered me helpless and maybe It's only the noise in the street Oh my dear although you reach me I see your reflection clearly There she stands alone so precious Looking beautiful and treacherous Oh the journey is endless Surely, I'll rise through the verses I'm flying, or maybe I'm breathing but still uncertain Saints are laughing at fables They tempt me to stand on the edges of drowning In pools that swell with the rain
