Dark and cold does this bleakness remain
of something one's soul can never cease thinking.
I cannot continue, my being is gripped
in the instant the whole of my innocence ripped.
With these haunting memories, again am i drinking
all alone, in a car, at night, in the rain.
I remember the days preceding this stain
when reaching for joy was never for naught.
Then, instant to instant, came it swift as an arrow
to pierce me with sorrow straight down to the marrow.
A lasting reprieve from awareness i sought
all alone, in a car, at night, in the rain.
The core of my heart is this dark thing's domain
and only emerges in my solitude pondering.
For each other, the only emotion contempt
and from this hatred would that i were exempt!
In this horrid past am i afraid, lost, and wandering,
all alone, in a car, at night, in the rain.
Persistent "if only's" for my life line twain
for friendship and wonder and innocence rent.
Searching for peace, finding never mine own
and the torment uncaring and chilled to the bone.
The yearning for happiness and hope is thus spent
all is wasted away, my escape all in vain...
all alone, in a car, at night, in the rain.
