Backlit rain on the glass
Turns your shadow soft
It makes the damage glow
Like it's easier to touch
Your mouth said stay calm
My hands said hold on
But the way you stood there
Made the hurt look wrong
I watched it blur
The sharp-edged truth
Every broken line
Looked almost new
Rain on glass, rain on glass
Make it gentle
Rain on glass, rain on glass
Never mend it
Rain on glass, rain on glass
Just a softer view
Rain on glass, rain on glass
Still breaking through
Taxi wash on your coat
Silver on the sleeve
The whole block held its breath
When you looked at me
I wanted mercy
In the easiest form
Just a pretty veil
Over something torn
I know the light
Can cheat the eye
It paints the bruise
And calls it sky
Rain on glass, rain on glass
Make it gentle
Rain on glass, rain on glass
Never mend it
Rain on glass, rain on glass
Just a softer view
Rain on glass, rain on glass
Still breaking through
If I stand close
I can pretend
The edges fade
At the window's end
But when you leave
And the rain moves on
The wound stays here
Where it always was
Rain on glass, rain on glass
Make it gentle
Rain on glass, rain on glass
Never mend it
Rain on glass, rain on glass
Just a softer view
Rain on glass, rain on glass
Still breaking through

Still Under That Light
Elsha Rinot
Elsha Rinot's second album, Misread Relief, is a decadent urban pop record about two people mistaking the glow of the night for salvation. Streetlights, neon signs, and blue phone screens soften the pain for a moment, but never erase the loneliness. Still carrying dependence like a beautiful wound, they return once again to the same nocturnal haze.
