Flash from Rain, Rain by Pyrophoria

Clouded, clouded
Sky crowded, who allowed it
Badlands had a drought hit
Now each cloud hid
I denounced it
Tired of the frown
Coming round with it
I found a tape and rewound it
What about it
There was something but they drowned it
Where will I run when there’s no way around it
If there were shelter I would’ve found it
I’ve never been well grounded
The storm clouds surrounded
Now did
Anyone mark me as counted
I ran away; rain pounded

Badlands was my retreat
Rain, rain said the drumbeat
I sit on the concrete
Is this defeat

Crossing; 20 feet deep
Where do I go to weep
I seep
I was just a black sheep
I no longer made a peep
I ascended with a sweep
Taken up like in sleep
I landed on my feet
On an empty street
Soaked in heat
A car flipped like a fleet
Thrown from the front seat
Where is my home I need to take a seat
To understand the obsolete
I deplete
I deceit
I don’t greet
Change or anything sweet

Badlands was my retreat
Rain, rain said the drumbeat
I sit on the concrete
Is this defeat

Rain, rain take me away
To another day
This is sad I don’t want to say
I run the badlands; make way
I am astray
The rainwater builds and I’m made of clay
Mold me into something different than grey
Don’t know what’s wrong anyway

Badlands was my retreat
Rain, rain said the drumbeat
I sit on the concrete
Is this defeat

Yeah life changes in a flash
I can’t look both ways since the whiplash
The flood chased me out of a heat rash
I learned to swim with a thrash
I learned to love myself from a gash
I learned to make fire from ash
I made a wish on an eyelash
Did I even want to rehash

Badlands was my retreat
Rain, rain said the drumbeat
I sit on the concrete
Is this defeat
