One Day Closer to the Rain

Wouldn't have known but for the flake of a lip outdoors
The slake of a sip that I'd remembered from the times before
Wouldn't have known but for a lungful of dusty ore
The sum of the parts that led to the drought
Eventually stripped my stores
But every day is one day closer to the rain

Degrees of severity are measured but never seen
At leisure a luxury to fall apart now I'm 16
Sat in a psych eval, on meds geared to make me well
Rating degrees of hopelessness
and riding out this hot spell
But every day is one day closer to the rain
But every day is one day closer to the rain

At worst I'm pounding pavements, chasing cars
This thirst bangs on windows that aren't ours
This outburst grabs for liters of your water like I'll never

Like I'll never never never never never never never
never never never never feel better
When you think you'll never never never never
never never never never never never never feel better
When you think you'll never never never never
never never never never never never never feel better
When you think you'll never never never never
never never never never never never never feel better

Remember everyday ee ee is one day closer to the rain

Get out of bed what for the sun doesn't rise no more
The long run it stretches out indefinitely to a lone locked door
Say what you want about this unending cracked earth drought
This impending fire risk, this creeping despondent abject doubt

But every day is one day closer to the rain
But every day is one day closer to the rain
But every day is one day closer to the rain
But every day is one day closer to the rain
