letra de raindrops in a hurricane - affinity drive

sometimes (sometimes) i sit and pray for rainbows
dumb mind lost in the place where the strain grows
brain froze
wheezin’ to say “it ain’t so”
even came close to strayin’ from the paved road
i’m caught in streamed replays of the same shows
all i ever wanted was to stay home and gain hope
i can’t get no satisfaction when i play notes
wait for the day the techno fascist fashion became broke
so i can take hold this retro passive passion
and the faint glow of a “let’s go!” plan of action
i wrote a prose to exposе the massive cached sins
and maybе just ask, “what happened?”
’cause when the sun’s gone
(when the sun’s gone)
you can see the chalk outline lyin’ on my front lawn
there’s a tombstone whose home is in my backyard
below a telescope honed right at the last star
mom had heart
but role models changed
bad scars emerge for every whole bottle drained
the family tree was badly beat and torn violently
and that day something died inside of me
i wore a gas mask since birth
what’s it worth?
why’d the risks hurt?
didn’t the fix work?
i felt the flame
i saw it churn and spark
i dealt the pain
it pelts my brain and burns my heart
so many minor things in my past make me melt with shame
but everything is everything – it’s even spelt the same
everything is everything – it’s even spelt the same
everything is everything
hey, let’s take it back to the pencil and paper days
a safer age where shaving was the sole use for razor blades (a change of pace)
ricky and lucy slept in separate beds
the further back we go the better it gets
back when apathy was immune to the gravity latched to me
now there’s no fruit and i won’t chew an apple tree (what a tragedy)
look at me dad, i’m so much like you
good and the bad, but you let the sun shine through
i’m sorry for the nameplates that burnt your namesake
you and the dogs ate from the same plate (my shame’s great)
i’ve outgrown the old but i walk down the road
roam the zone
ditched schoolyard kids for a crown of gold
i knew the call of duty but lost my angel’s halo
so many stupid scapegoats – too painful to say, “no”
i met vanity haphazardly in middle school
a wishful fool
thinkin’ no effect would ripple pools
tried escaping the pain at home by going backwards
but i never was brave enough to end up chokin’ on my last words
hated the poison
loved the taste
every attempt to go up in the world was a waste
it took many years to fully climb back down
at least i finally feel like i’m on track now
funny… my conscience always thought it was odd
i never knew my arms were too short to box with god
so, instead of holding on to a doubt-drenched plan
i grabbed jehovah’s out-stretched hand
i love it when the snow falls
lands amongst the roll calls
rests upon the stone walls
the ones that grow tall to guard our self-esteem
to tear it down doesn’t mean you have to sell the dream
i love it when the rain falls
floods the main halls so the memoirs can’t contain all…
all the passion spent and all the tears dropped
when the laughing wept and when the fear stopped

i know jehovah’s behind me
i can feel the holy spirit
even though he’s so high, when he calls the lowly hear it
i’m tired of brawling with the american uncle’s sins
i’m tired of crawling through this embarrassin’ jungle gym
so, forget the present and forget the past
forget the lies that bind the mind and forget the trash (forget it!)
forget pride, picket signs and dead presidents (forget it!)
forget snide wicked lines that spread negligence (forget it!)
forget this ghastly system and purebred thugs
jah, just pass me wisdom so i can cure bed bugs
i’m a sharpshooter, yeah, i’m a deadeye
will dark humour rectify the large tumour my head hides? (nah!)
then all odds stack up as i circle past zero
when false gods gallop i’ll be a working class hero
it’s a wild world and it stole your light
stop actin’ like a child girl
you know what’s right! (you know!)
give me a reason for why i glow so bright
give me a reason
and i’mma be alright
and you’re gonna be alright
you ain’t gotta hold my hand
just walk with me tonight

and i’mma be alright
and you’re gonna be alright
you ain’t gotta hold my hand
just walk with me tonight

i’mma be alright
i know i’ll be okay
maybe you’ll be okay one day too
i watched it all pass by as the cold wind blew
