the rain god


The Sun God could visit

It would be a nice thing

We could sit on the patio  

Talk of this, that, and other things

Reliving days gone bye

Also days yet to be

Alas, the Cloud God is camping

Hanging with his cousin Rain King

The ground is wet

The sky is grey

Bringing back to me

If the sun god could visit

It would be a nice thing

Maybe then I wouldn't have to worry

About the f’ing Rain King

Goodbye to you my dear

You have been gone

For most of a year

Ghost pains

From a limb taken away

Remind me how I could say

For you

I would burn the motherfucker

Down

It's true

But that would be

Just for the ghost

Of you and me

On Monday I'm on my way

To sign the papers

That say

The ghosts of me and you

Have gone, their separate,

Away

For you

I would strip my soul bare

And throw it at your feet to use

For you

Strip my soul

For you

I would break my crown

And tear my palace down brick by brick

For you

Brick by brick

For you

And burn the mother fucker down

For you….

Better side

Screaming inside

Trying to find a frame Of mind

Trying to find a place

To hide from the demon inside

Grinning at the wheel

Driving the machine

Forcing the gears

To align opposed from

My better side

The screaming inside

Drowning the world out

Gears grinding the wheels turning

While my entire life is crashing

And burning
