Drenched
Even in this summer heat
Rain runs from the leaves
And my ground too hard to soak it up
It runs from me too
The thirst for the past ignores the taste
The reach forgets the burn
Whichever way I turn
The feeling digs in
These poisons that draw me in then dry me out
If they'd only let me sleep
I could dream, dream of oceans
These poisons that draw me in then dry me out
If they'd only let me sleep
I could dream, dream of oceans
Choking
Even in the freshest air
Clouds tethered to my shoulders
My breath too weak to blow away
The thirst for the past ignores the taste
The reach forgets the burn
Whichever way I turn
The feeling digs in
These poisons that draw me in then dry me out
If they'd only let me sleep
I could dream, dream of oceans
These poisons that draw me in then dry me out
If they'd only let me sleep
I could dream, dream of oceans
