Analysis of Acid Rain
Lilleth Helena 1987 (Dupont)
The clouds came in over me
Acid rain has took it's toll
It spared my fragile skin
But ate away my soul
Crying out to God in screams
But I heard that he was dead
He left me all alone
With these demons In my head
Doubts are louder now
I left the shore of hope
Leaving nothin but a bottle
For me to try and cope
I swear it trys to numb me
All the voices in my brain
But even Johnny walker
Can't make this girl more sane
The gashes getting deeper
All I want is some release
It even keeps me haunted
When I'm laying down for sleep
