lyrics
Rain, Fall, Down
The clouds are moving in again
I hear the sound of that distant wind
It grows loud while I'm listening
Wonder how long it's been, I missed my friend
Cuz sunshine never really spoke to me
I smile jokingly like this how I'm supposed to be?
But those close to me surely know me better
I'm more minor chords and stormy weather
Sometimes I like to revel in my anguish
Fuck what's in my closet man the devil's in my basement
And you should see him dance he's nice with that shit
I guess I'm more like my father than I'd like to admit
Just let it fall
Rain, Fall, Down
Cuz sometimes the pain's all you got left
To fill the gaping hole in your chest
And sometimes...
I swear I'll never learn my lessons
I focus on my failures and I downplay my successes
If you ask I'll probably tell you it's humility
But maybe it's a creeping self-doubt that's instilled in me
Maybe if I pop a couple pills in me
I can derail this train of thought my brain's killing me
I hear the raindrops falling outside my window
And I swear I hear them calling is it just pretend though
So let the rain fall down
Til it consumes me, it's running through me
Until my days run out
I just want to hold on to something real
Rain, Fall, Down
The clouds are moving in again
I hear the sound of that distant wind
It grows loud while I'm listening
Wonder how long it's been, I missed my friend
Cuz sunshine never really spoke to me
I smile jokingly like this how I'm supposed to be?
But those close to me surely know me better
I'm more minor chords and stormy weather
Sometimes I like to revel in my anguish
Fuck what's in my closet man the devil's in my basement
And you should see him dance he's nice with that shit
I guess I'm more like my father than I'd like to admit
Just let it fall
Rain, Fall, Down
Cuz sometimes the pain's all you got left
To fill the gaping hole in your chest
And sometimes...
I swear I'll never learn my lessons
I focus on my failures and I downplay my successes
If you ask I'll probably tell you it's humility
But maybe it's a creeping self-doubt that's instilled in me
Maybe if I pop a couple pills in me
I can derail this train of thought my brain's killing me
I hear the raindrops falling outside my window
And I swear I hear them calling is it just pretend though
So let the rain fall down
Til it consumes me, it's running through me
Until my days run out
I just want to hold on to something real
Rain, Fall, Down
