I'm a raining sun of burning waters
A scorching wind of cold air
A honest man that's cutting corners
Full of myself, but hungrily feeling bare

Frolicking, to and fro, licking
Beads of dirty water, tongue in a tong of fire

My skin doth scream
Whilst my mind doth dream
Without a shadow of doubt
For me, gloom is cast about

A well in me, a welling me
I see that the need is dire

So I cry me a deep river
To water my beds of rose
Instead they slowly meander
And in turns, thorns expose

I'm my own poison
I'm the virus that plagues my soul
