[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
