Raining in Kyoto It's flooding the streets I'm nursing a coffee from a vending machine I saw the god of rice and a fox with a key I woke up blind to the headache Grinding my teeth Confused and alone and taking pills to sleep To soften your accents but they don't let me dream
Raining in Kyoto My breath turns into steam I'll buy you a candle, not even sure what it means I'm cursed to the matches I'm drowning my grief And a man stood close by, smiled at me I rang the bell like he did I told you I'm sorry A makeshift funeral, I tried to set you free
You're half asleep And I bought you a radio to drown out the machines Hospital light You asked about the way you wish they'd let you outside
Raining in Kyoto I'm starting to shake They'll hold a service tomorrow I'm an ocean away Reach into my pocket, found a small paper crane It's been over a year now April turns into May I barely stopped moving, I've been so fucking afraid Too much of a coward to even visit your grave
You're half awake And I bought you a radio to play the blues away With my hand to hold You asked about the way you wish they'd let you die at home
You're half awake And I bought you a radio to play the blues away Hospital light You asked about the way you wish they'd let you outside
