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)
