[Verse 1]
Bare hands
On a busted trash can lid
Cold splash
Every hit blurs what I did
Street’s cracked
But the rhythm’s holding fast
Who was I
Before all this came to pass?
Hood up
But the water finds my face
Soaked skin
Like it’s trying to erase
All the names
All the versions that I’ve been
Beat on metal
Just to hear my heart again
[Chorus]
Drumming in the rain
Till my knuckles ache
Trying to feel anything
Trying not to break
Time keeps marching steady
Like it’s in my veins
I’m losing who I am
Drumming in the rain
[Verse 2]
Ghost palms
On the kit back in my room
Dry laugh
At the kid who dreamed of June
Wide sky
Open roads and open doors
Now it’s bills
And a silence I ignore
Where did
All the wild in me escape?
Blue badge
Hanging where my hope should stay
I tap out
On the steering wheel at red
Every beat’s
What I wish I’d never said
[Chorus]
Drumming in the rain
Till my knuckles ache
Trying to feel anything
Trying not to break
Time keeps marching steady
Like it’s in my veins
I’m losing who I am
Drumming in the rain
[Bridge]
I miss freedom
Like a scar I still can’t scratch
Every second
Another link in the chain
Attached
If I scream
Will it echo back my name?
Or just vanish
In the hiss of falling rain?
[Chorus]
Drumming in the rain
Till my knuckles ache
Trying to feel anything
Trying not to break
Time keeps marching steady
Like it’s in my veins
I’m losing who I am
Drumming in the rain
