Opaque

In the rain, in the darkness
Underneath your opaque coat
Underneath your porcelain frame and jutting jaw
There lives a scared rabbit
Eyes wide and terrified
Your veneer of perfect grace
Was just a mouse's masquerade

Just like that, she washed away
Washed away, washed away, washed away
Just like that, she washed away
She came crumbling down
And washed away

Every word kept a secret when you spoke to me of love
How can I ever know if it was true
Excuses made to avoid the truth
Looks like I'll have to leave you
Alone in this rain

Just like that, she washed away
Washed away, washed away, washed away
Just like that, she washed away
She came crumbling down

She stood there choking in the rain
She shook her head and backed away
She rather die than reach out for my hand
She stood there choking in the rain
She shook her head and backed away
She rather die than reach out for my hand

Just like that, she washed away
Washed away, washed away, washed away
Just like that, she washed away
She came crumbling down
She came crumbling down
She came crumbling down
And washed away
Washed away
