Raining in Kyoto, it's flooding the streets
I'm nursing a coffee from a vending machine
I saw the god of rice and a fox with a key, key
I woke up blind with a headache, grinding my teeth
Confused and alone, been taking pills to sleep
They soften your absence but they don't let me dream, dream
Raining in Kyoto. My breath turns into steam
I bought you a candle, not even sure what it means
But I cursed at the matches, and drown in my grief, grief
An older man stood close by and smiled at me
I rung the bell like he did, I told you I'm sorry
A makeshift funeral. I tried setting you free
You're half asleep
And I bought you a radio to drown out the machines
Hospital light
You asked about the weather, wished that they'd let you outside
Raining in Kyoto. I'm starting to shake
They'll hold your service tomorrow. I'm an ocean away
Reached into my pocket, found a small paper crane
It's been over a year now. April turns into May
I've barely stopped moving, I've been so fucking afraid
Too much of a coward to even visit your grave
You're half awake
And I bought you a radio to play the blues away
With my hand to hold
You asked about the weather, wish they'd let you die at home
You're half awake
And I bought you a radio to play the blues away
Hospital light
You asked about the weather, wished that they'd let you outside
Goodnight, goodnight, goodbye
