Rain and I’m not speaking what I know
A demon roaming wild inside
Spitting out these words
Writing frees my need to hide
Aching for some path to take
Still I’m crying here
Jumbled in the nothingness
And life alone I fear
A half-man lost in doubt
A mind running round a head
Everything is inside out
And outside all seems dead
Do they listen while I scream
Drowning in the rain
Wished they could see the inside out
And outside ease my pain
There’s a radio playing music
Rhythm bend disjointed mind
Though I am chasing riddles
And riddles break the time
I need a way to back right out
And inside take a look
Listen to the music
Find some meaning in the hook
Wished they could see the inside out
And outside ease the pain
Then the mind would find release
Tempt the demon drown the rain
