You were the drought and I was the rain that was going to drown you out. But you swam like you depended on the earth to hold you. Never letting you hold ground cos I took it from under you. No discipline to hold you like gravity, the only thing you'll be doing is sinking.. Bottom of the bay, where all wasted things sink too, you may take a while. But believe me you'll end up where the rest sank. Shrink wrapped with stones of regret on ya ankles of missteps. When you dried out I was the oasis of plentiful rhyme. you tried to steal from my fountain but i held you under till you drowned. And as long as no one knows where you were ship wrecked, you'll be a drought in a sea of plentiful moisture that i drink upon.

Drowning In A Drought
You were the drought and I was the rain that was going to drown you out. But you swam like you depended on the earth to hold you. Never letting you hold ground cos I took it from under you. No discipline to hold you like gravity, the only thing you'll be doing is sinking.. Bottom of the bay, where all wasted things sink too, you may take a while. But believe me you'll end up where the rest sank. Shrink wrapped with stones of regret on ya ankles of missteps. When you dried out I was the oasis of plentiful rhyme. you tried to steal from my fountain but i held you under till you drowned. And as long as no one knows where you were ship wrecked, you'll be a drought in a sea of plentiful moisture that i drink upon.
