lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's storming outside—so much lightning
Where's the rain
You open the blinds, and I want to run outside
And maybe things will seep away
But you keep me in your room

Your room dark and stale
Hot like a southern summer
Clean like a roach motel
And your gaze is fixed on the absent sun

I hear what can I do for you
How can I help
You used to ask me what I think
And how I felt

[Chorus]
Why, oh, why do I think of you
When you haven't a thought of me
Why, oh, why do you care about the rain

[Verse 2]
Look at the trees
See them lose their leaves
Hear the birds scream
Watch the squirrels try to flee
As the wind beats their tails

The ceiling starts to pop and crack
Drums and flashes accompany that
As dirt begins to melt into mud
The driveway overflows in blood

And now I see how alone I feel again
With you semi on my side
Brown hair, blue shirt, warm eyes, blank stare
You clutter me with your comprehension
Chaotic but still it's there

[Verse 3]
I said it was my fault
No, you said
I said I could have stopped this
No, you said

In this dramatic play
The ground releases steam
The water hates the shell we're in
It's trying to pierce the glass
Our screen for viewing the cast

You said, no, you were a child
You need to leave hell back there
I'm not used to that

[Chorus]
Not in a friend
It is broken
