Behind The Blinds

[Verse 1] Rain behind the blinds Like tears in a room I stand in the yard Borrowing the gloom Your quiet has a shape It leans against the frame I press my palm to glass And don’t know my own name [Pre-Chorus] I wear the weight Like it’s mine But I’m outside I’m outside [Chorus] Behind the blinds Behind the blinds You keep the rain in I keep my name out Behind the blinds Behind the blinds You cry in silence I wear the shape now [Verse 2] Your shadow on the cloth Moves like a sealed-up thought Every drop inside Is a thing I never caught I came here bare and bright Left with a face of lead I keep mistaking The ache for what I said [Pre-Chorus] I wear the weight Like it’s mine But I’m outside I’m outside [Chorus] Behind the blinds Behind the blinds You keep the rain in I keep my name out Behind the blinds Behind the blinds You cry in silence I wear the shape now [Bridge] If the blinds are eyelids Then shut them on me Let me be the street That gets soaked and set free I don’t recognize This burden I wear But I know your grief By the shape in the air [Final Chorus] Behind the blinds Behind the blinds You keep the rain in I keep my name out Behind the blinds Behind the blinds I hear you breaking And I break with you Behind the blinds Behind the blinds The tears stay hidden But they find me too
