when the rain begins to fall
you crawl back on all fours
soaked through to your sodden skin.
(Soaked through to your sodden skin.)
You’re hoping love can start again.
Will I give you one more chance?
i am not your little toy.
tell me, are you man or boy?
you’re dripping, dripping wet
drowned in every debt
soaked in the swamp of a hollow life
the rain cuts through like a bowie knife
yeah, you’re dripping, dripping wet
the best damn mistake that I ever met.
burn the fuel and feed the fire
tear the cord and cut the wire
show me that you really care
kill that empty, vacant stare.
heavy rain still pours
You’re down there on all fours
spit the venom, own the lie
watch the last of mercy die.
you’re dripping, dripping wet
caked in blood and sweat
a gutter-washed ghost with a broken crown
i’m watching the levee finally break down
dripping, dripping wet
the silhouette of a dead regret.
hearts are spilled across the floor
puddles pool beside the door
rising steam from a sodden coat
words are stuck inside your throat
thunder cracks across the plain to
wash away your heavy stain
left your pride out in the yard
why was it so very hard?
dripping, dripping wet
the sky is black, the river's high
love and summer start to die.
you’re just a stray.
out in the storm.
i’ve nothing left to keep you warm.
and I don’t love you anymore.
dripping.
dripping.
wet.
