“It’s dark inside
It’s dark outside
It’s raining outside
It’s raining inside
There are droplets everywhere
Tears, blood, alcohol, water
Floating around
One wanders
And wonders
Why can’t he break free
Why can’t he find ground
To shatter upon
To fall in pieces
And watch self suffocate
Drowning in vomit and saliva
Death is distant still
As if an utopian dream
It’s a free fall
And there’s no escape
Trapped for eternity
One continues to believe
The rain tonight
Would wash him ashore
Afresh again
Soon, soon
Alas…!”
