Dark clouds roll on the horizon His lies are written in ink on her skin and she’s swimming in a river The sky is an endless expanse of gloom His presence is gum stuck in her hair and she’s covering her whole head in peanut butter It’s a challenge with you, trying to keep my head up in your downpour His touch is a ***** t-shirt she’s been wearing and she’s finally taking it off You flicker my lights so as to say “look at me” and I do Memories of him are a watercolor painting that she left out in the rain Until the colors have all blended together and washed away I hear you, storm. I see you. I’m not afraid of you. He was the rain and she was finally learning how to dance in it

The Storm/The Aftermath
Dark clouds roll on the horizon His lies are written in ink on her skin and she’s swimming in a river The sky is an endless expanse of gloom His presence is gum stuck in her hair and she’s covering her whole head in peanut butter It’s a challenge with you, trying to keep my head up in your downpour His touch is a ***** t-shirt she’s been wearing and she’s finally taking it off You flicker my lights so as to say “look at me” and I do Memories of him are a watercolor painting that she left out in the rain Until the colors have all blended together and washed away I hear you, storm. I see you. I’m not afraid of you. He was the rain and she was finally learning how to dance in it
