Rain Leak
Kyle Bates
One way that you can calm the fear:
Say what you want to hear
“It’s raining again.”
Drunk by my friend’s side
We watched my father open wide
“A branch that cracks in the wind.”
Oh let it be known
That I’m afraid
Oh let it be shown:
Death Thought eats my days
White Noise across my chest
Under my eyelids, there’s no rest
“Small sleep is too weak.”
And I can “still feel the sting in my hand
From when I hit” him:
“A pipe that springs a leak.”
Oh let it be known
That I’m ashamed
Oh let it be done:
Death Thought eat away
Dream kills Death
Death kills Sleep
Sleep kills Death
Death kills Dream
Dream kills Death
Death kills Sleep
Sleep is Death
Death is Dream
Oh let it be known
That I’m afraid
Oh let it be shown:
Death Thought eats my days
