It's raining so hard here.
I can't seem to keep my eyes shut,
I can't seem to keep my mind off of him.
Maybe it's a little too much.
This liquid sound in my head,
And this liquid in my bed
Trying but don't want to keep my legs closed
Just one rose in here,
But still feels like a bed of roses,

And you aren't far,
I know you cannot be far my dear,
And have an effect like that on me
Voodoo king,
What is your secret?
Won't you tell me?
just what it is,
That makes you sing?

In and out of sleep,
Like I want you to be in and out of me,
I'm like,
trying to forget my dreams.
The one where I made a promise I did not keep,
And he called my name but I stayed hidden,
Out of reach,
And he wondered if I died,
No, I just ghosted,
The rain got me sad and sensual.
Why should I have to sugar coat it?

It's raining hard here and I'm in a daze,
Dreamland moving in on me,
While I'm moving in on purple haze
Taking it easy in this body,
Feeling every inch of skin,
That was not loved the way it should have been,
Strong and delicate
an archive where ancient feelings are stored,
It's raining hard here.
And uninterrupted sleep is a luxury,
I cannot afford.
