Under the sun, there is nothing to hide

Under the moon, the stranger waits inside

People disappear, the music fades away

Splashing through the rain, I'll dream with them one day

It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven

I may have wasted all those years

I may have spent too long in darkness, in the warmth of my fears

As I walk through all my myths

Rising and sinking like the waves

With my thoughts wrapped around me
C#7sus
Through a trial of tears

Hidden by disguise, stumbling in a world
Feeling uninspired, he gets into his car

Rising, sinking, raining deep inside me
