Rain that falls as dust Rain that feels like ashes Wasted on skin that might as well be dead Not feeling it Not the life of the party My life a crime scene That nobody bothered to report Knuckles glossy red Unplugged like spilled lemonade Face-planted on papier-mâché curbs And I didn't even get to keep the balloons No more wicked games This was my ship To wreck Just raise it from the bottomless pit They say Live like an adult But I'd rather Die like a child

Rain that falls as dust Rain that feels like ashes Wasted on skin that might as well be dead Not feeling it Not the life of the party My life a crime scene That nobody bothered to report Knuckles glossy red Unplugged like spilled lemonade Face-planted on papier-mâché curbs And I didn't even get to keep the balloons No more wicked games This was my ship To wreck Just raise it from the bottomless pit They say Live like an adult But I'd rather Die like a child
Rain isn't stopping today. And I'd like to jump in the puddles, but I'm not supposed to do that. I'm an "Adult". Childhood series #8
