A confession

[Verse 1] A confession— Colors don’t burn brighter on lithium My locked-up mind Has lost its echo My body drifts Like it’s hollow And my bed Cold as a tombstone Drops hard to the ground And my dreams Torn-out Beaten shoes Every step I’m falling down [Chorus] I want the rain I want the wind Let it tear these paper walls Let it scrape my skin I want the rain I want the wind If the storm still reaches me Maybe I can feel again [Verse 2] A confession— Colors smear like rust on the medicine Voices soaked in regret Catch fire in silence And the ghosts Start dancing in my room Name tags on their shadows Reading “should’ve Could’ve Soon” And my head Blazing like hell Slides deep in the floor I’m staring at the ceiling From some trapdoor in the dark [Chorus] I want the rain I want the wind Let it rattle every frame ’til the numbness thins I want the rain I want the wind If the sky breaks over me Maybe I can feel again [Bridge] Take these pill-white mornings These blackout afternoons Trade them for a thunderhead And muddy Ruined shoes If it hurts Then it hurts But at least it’s mine Let the weather write its name Across this borrowed spine (hey) [Chorus] I want the rain I want the wind Let it flood this quiet room Let it drag me in I want the rain I want the wind If the storm still reaches me Maybe I can feel again I want the rain I want the wind If the storm still reaches me Maybe I can live again
