[Intro]

Raindrops clinging to cracked glass

Truth reflects into my refuge


[Verse 1]

Onto this sinful shadow blurring the window, I'm hiding

Behind tangled mass of guilt rolling down, crushing limbs and shattering bones

The blinded world covers their ears, turning and spinning

Don't leave me behind


[Chorus]

A solitary lamppost stands, shining its radiating hope

How much longer will this lightbulb last? It flickers uncertainly

Under its light, my reflection shatters into ripples of puddles

I wonder if my words even mean anything


[Post-Chorus]

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah


[Verse 2]

Can you hear the kingfisher perched by the water?

Can you hear its doubts lurking to ruin this puddle?

Its cracks growing along with my cries


[Chorus]

A solitary lamppost stands, fading into flickers of its light

Ah, this bulb, it cries, screaming its last breath, "Please don't leave me"

(Ah) My shattered, broken reflection consumed by the ripples of stars

Blinded by the void you left


[Post-Chorus]

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah


[Verse 3]

When will day come?

I've only ever known this dimly-lit

Puddle under your flicker of light worn curtains always blocked the blinding

Light that shunned me, I'll bleed my hands to find your pieces of glass

Won't you come find me?


[Outro]

Broken puddles shatter like glass

Wounded hands pick up your shattered heart

Don't say goodbye
