Spatters

I love sitting out here the rain mere inches away
Stray drops spattering patterns my pen makes
Tin roof sound, comfort of my own space
Theres nothing quite like it man- what can I say?
I could sit here for days if the rain would last
But rain never lasts and as soon as the storms past
I'm turning about as red as yellow is the grass
So while this lasts let's enjoy the pause
Walking around oblivious smiling as the rain pours
Walking around like idiots soaked to the core
It's the very source of all life forms existent
You looking like idiots for trying to keep your distance
For instance, where would you be without it
And I'm not talking about having to have a cold shower
I'm talking no bread coz all you've got is the flour
Think, just think about it

It spatters in drips n drops, the rain
Shielded from the insane people driving in lanes
I'll sit inside, and keep my eyes open wide
Fear of death keeping me from ending other people lives
When the roads wet, you don't wanna slip n slide
All you wanna be doing is try and keep ya peeps alive
So maybe ya got to ya destination a little late?
It's better than living with another fatality
The rain may rattle me, but i love it's relief
Just hate all the idiotic things that people do in it
Like waiting another 5 or running, just to stay dry
My bodies full of water, i'll think i'll assimilate it inside
Got about 60 percent, of water inside me
No need to fear the rain more like embrace that its free
Soak up the spatters, by taken a walk outside
Yeah this is free matter and its falling from the sky!

In some places it spatters, in others it pours
Overloading local rivers till they cant take no more
Homes left broken, soaked and destroyed
Leaving some locals flat broke and unemployed
Oh if ya car washed away? what would you say?
A house thats full of water, didn't need stuff anyway!
But all your things are gone, prize possessions lost
Here we are praising rain but I think you've got enough
But my side of the country barely even gets clouds
No doubt about it's all out fires and drought
Few months ago the neighbourhood nearly burnt down
Seventy two houses, all razed to the ground
It's like burn or drown, burn or drown
An uneven climate, from the north to the south
Burn or drown, burn or drown
It's an uneven climate and it's my home town
