"I wish, I could,
Surrender my soul,
Shed the clothes that's become my skin,
See the liar that burns within my needing,
I wish I'd chosen,
Darkness from cold,
I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I found no meaning
I guess it's time I run,
Far, far away,
Find comfort in pain,
Or pleasure it's the same,
It just keeps me from trouble,
Hides my true shape,
Like Dorian Gray,
I've heard what they say
But I'm not here for trouble,
It's more than just words,
It's just tears and rain.
I wish I could walk through,
The doors of my mind,
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years,
I wish I could chose between
Heaven and hell,
How I wish I would save my soul,
So cold from fear...
I guess it's time I run..."
'Tears and Rain' by James Blunt
