Dark emotional themes, death imagery, wrath
Detailed Analysis
These lyrics deal with heavy emotional and psychological themes, including inner darkness, identity struggle, grief, wrath, and references to death (the Reaper). There is disturbing imagery such as rotting, claws, screams, and watching the world 'go up in flames.' The tone is dark and brooding throughout, with references to a haunted inner life, loss, and a shift from subdued suffering to embracing wrath. There is no explicit language, sexual content, or drug/alcohol references. However, the themes of unresolved grief, inner rage, and nihilistic resignation — particularly lines like 'screams that aren't my own become music to my ears' and 'only wrath inside' — could be disturbing or emotionally impactful for younger or more sensitive listeners. The overall arc suggests a loss of hope and a surrender to darker impulses, which warrants parental guidance for younger teens.

Lyrics
I feel like I might be A little bit not myself I got this side of me That can't be cast out The cloth I'm cut from Is always calling How long I've wanted Someone else's skin to crawl in Graced with a gift That I can't say I wanted Down came the rain The sound of my solace When no stars can be found I'll wish upon a cloud But don't you cry for me I've already shed enough And I will find no peace In watching the world go by I was left behind to rot But the wrath inside can wash away the pain Like tears in the rain I promised to protect you Heart crossed when I made it As long as I can fix you I won't have to break it Every night I'm haunted By the life I lost A gift that was busted Right out of the box But I paid the price So dry your eyes And no one cry for me I've already shed enough The devil I don't see Is the one always by my side If I can't replace what broke Then I'll pray that time erodes away the pain Like tears in the rain You gave me claws I can't let go I have a cause Unlike these animals Take off your mask I see your soul No strings attached Give me control I was once subdued with song But from now on, all I hear Are the screams that aren't my own Become music to my ears This blessing wasn't sent from above What's born of agony Is stronger than love So don't you cry for me (spare me no sorrow) I've already shed enough (what's done is done) And now I've found my peace (wait for tomorrow) In letting it all unwind (that never comes) I was left behind to rot (the Reaper's knocking) Only wrath inside (what keeps you walking?) No fear of mine remains (watch it all go up in flames) Nothing but tears in the rain Nothing but tears in the rain Nothing but tears in the rain
