the heat has gone with the rain a fierce humidity saturating every breath with salt and hydrogen and oxygen wet dreary hell smothering the houses the people inside all tucked away breaking bones and sweat too much to live these days too much hearts don't beat like they used to the world's gone grey don't shine like it used to and its maddening once again except now the roads are empty and now the madness is in the corners of the bars and townhouse basements where small men whittle away at their shallow pride beating their purchased wives to make up for the love its a madness in the blood it is a cancer of the soul or maybe it is the salvation can't really tell hard to see or think much of anything anymore everyone drowned by everything as the world limps onward toward winter

Rainy Season
the heat has gone with the rain a fierce humidity saturating every breath with salt and hydrogen and oxygen wet dreary hell smothering the houses the people inside all tucked away breaking bones and sweat too much to live these days too much hearts don't beat like they used to the world's gone grey don't shine like it used to and its maddening once again except now the roads are empty and now the madness is in the corners of the bars and townhouse basements where small men whittle away at their shallow pride beating their purchased wives to make up for the love its a madness in the blood it is a cancer of the soul or maybe it is the salvation can't really tell hard to see or think much of anything anymore everyone drowned by everything as the world limps onward toward winter
