Stormdrain 04:37
I ride my bike 26 miles to work and back. Poor and full of shame, and the chain I heard it snap, If I'm late or miss another day I'll get terminated. I wish my job was makin songs and putting words on pages. Yet i pedal harder a mangled disheveled martyr. Heckled while I'm banging out freckles inside of this armor. The farther I get the more I'm taken aback. Feelin depressed in my chest and I'm just statin the facts. It's ironic a biproduct of pulling my wisdom teeth, would be debt and a check except they garnish it instantly. Feelin "To Hell With Everything." Lookin like eyes are reddening. Listenin like you're threatening. Speakin like this was deafening. Sell my words as umbrella terms. And don't look deeper into it until you've felt it first. Vision's "Hell On Earth." That's what a sad artist sees. We'll show you when we start to bleed but ask for death halfheartedly. (Chorus) I hope it doesn't rain today. Parade lookin up above afraid. All I wanted was the sun to stay. All you wanna do is throw us shade. I hope it doesn't rain today. Clouds only ever come to drain. All I wanna do is numb this pain. I got a dozen ways, I could just run away. Most days I wanna get hit to end this losing struggle. Veer over here and hear the cheers of other humans mumble. I'm a convoluted tunnel. With a light that never comes. Everyone might be better off if I had a severed tongue. I'm glass in front of a bike tire and the route is dim. Don't come near this darkness, ride tired, you won't be found again. No amount of vitamins can cure this psoriasis. It's kinda like a metaphor for all of your biases. Can't afford this medicine, side effects are just recklessness. Most of all the reasons why I even said this shit. I don't believe in karma, only in big pharma. But paying to feel betters not something I want a part of. I've just been talkin stressed. This life is so Kafkaesque. Everything I had I put into this, and you're not impressed? They say write what you know but all I know is pain. You said write about hope, but all I know is the rain. (Chorus) I hope it doesn't rain today. Parade lookin up above afraid. All I wanted was the sun to stay. All you wanna do is throw us shade. I hope it doesn't rain today. Clouds only ever come to drain. All I wanna do is numb this pain. I got a dozen ways, I could just run away. I hope it doesn't rain today. But nothin ever stays the same. These days I wanna fade away. Stay awake, stomach full of razorblades. I hope it don't rain today. Some things aren't safe to say. It doesn't matter if it rains today. Cause I'm already soaked and I stayed in place. Let's just sit and watch the storm drain. Consider this the foreplay. Gettin drenched in the doorway. And I keep repeating your name, your name. Let's just sit and watch the storm drain. Consider this the foreplay. Gettin drenched in the doorway. And I keep repeating your name, your name, your name. (Chorus)

Nobody wants to talk to me. I'm depressing and full of grief. But when I'm silent they say maybe I need some sleep. And then still condescend like I don't comprehend and bully me. So now I'm pulling teeth. It's like, if I had nice things to sing this would be a pop song. If I could read the situation I'd say sorry it's gone wrong. These lines aren't long enough to say what I mean. The times I've brought it up have made you not like me. And I don't care what anyone thinks but it would be nice to have someone to talk to. Someone that's got you. Or someone that could get you. Some that I could relate with is probably sick to. (Chorus) To Hell with everything and everyone. I wanna die. To Hell with everything and anyone who's loving life. To Hell with music, cause I can't afford to make it. To Hell with everything I'll be dead when I'm famous. To Hell with everything still waiting for my set of wings. To Hell with music help yourself and don't ever sing. To Hell with everything if there's nothing worth bettering. I feel like giving up on this. It's not worth what I've underwent. Catharsis is why I fuck with it. But life just makes me wanna quit. No one will hear this. It's a waste of time and lyrics. I've spent years writing in dim basements pretending I'm fearless. I've gotta convince myself one day that this will improve. That all this blood and ink is worth the wound when fresh and new. It's like a tune that we knew but forgot after a couple years. This is the embodiment of stagnation that lovers fear. Friends don't wanna see you perform they just wanna drink. So I sit alone at home and mourn all this and other things. (Chorus) One day I'll shut the fuck up and not be such a burden. The writing's on the wall all of ya'll have been immersed in. Grinding like the brakes in my imaginary car do. Part one's not temporary, cause we don't get to part two. We predicted existence that's what we're accustomed to. I don't know what I'm gonna do about anything, it's nothing new. See someone I used to know somewhere I won't go in. But I haven't seen the sunshine since I don't know when... (Chorus) To Hell with everything and everyone I wanna die. To Hell with everything. (Sample) "Suppose tomorrow you lost half your money and you're feeling depressed. Close your mouth. Hold your nose like this for two minutes. Your body says to Hell with your money. I want to live."

Livin like I probably, oughta be, shoulda been dead by now. Just found out these roommates were two-faced that I let in my house. Born on a Monday, stuck in a one way. Imbecile, in denial. I've always been a child. Starin at nebulas, burnt out my retinas, etc. When I smile it's a frown. Guess that there's always just something that's wrong with me. Hypochondriac, writin awkward raps. Talkin fast and improperly. Fell asleep mid-kiss. How did I miss this? The love that I had it turned into a sickness. Nothing that I do can fix friends. Wonder where we'll all be at when this ends. (Chorus) There's something beautiful about not knowing what to do. There's comfort in the chaos of sleeping in this room. I've been so stressed, this could be the home stretch. Keep on collecting scars like I was born to sew flesh. There's something beautiful about not knowing what to do. Things can go either way despite if you want them to. There's something beautiful about starting to come unglued. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. Still haven't found the right way to say certain things. What cause am I furthering? And what have I been murdering? I've got so many problems how can I get back again? It feels like I'm cursed. And what I've said has been a pathogen. The realest rappers aren't even realists. But I'm not concerned, on the verge of finding words for all of these feelings. Will I find salvation during the album's duration? Or will this negativity get to me and swallow the situation? (Chorus) They said by now I should have some stability. But apparently this parody of existence is killin me. All my bills stay overdue. I'm sorry for this broken view. I'm just feelin broke in two, ever since I had spoke to you. (Chorus)
