[Verse 1]
They booked me hard in the gray hall
My hands still shake in the line call
One wrong night, one blood spill
Now I sleep where the nights kill
Cold steel tray, stale bread
Same four walls, same dread
Mama crying on the phone
I hear guilt in every tone
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't wash it off
Can't shake what I saw
The floor kept my secret
Now the whole block knows the cost
[Chorus]
Cell block rain, cell block rain
It falls on my name
Cell block rain, cell block rain
I live with the blame
(Cell block rain)
No sleep, no peace
Just me and the chain
Cell block rain, cell block rain
I drown in the shame
[Verse 2]
He said my name and I snapped
One second flat, then it all went black
Now his face in the sink light
Shows up every time the lights die
The guard walks slow on the tier
Like he knows what I fear
Every click in the doorframe
Sounds like my own old shame
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't wash it off
Can't shake what I saw
The floor kept my secret
Now the whole block knows the cost
[Chorus]
Cell block rain, cell block rain
It falls on my name
Cell block rain, cell block rain
I live with the blame
(Cell block rain)
No sleep, no peace
Just me and the chain
Cell block rain, cell block rain
I drown in the shame
[Bridge]
If I could trade one breath
Give him back that stretch
I'd pay it in full
But the dead don't let you forget
[Final Chorus]
Cell block rain, cell block rain
It falls on my name
Cell block rain, cell block rain
I live with the blame
(Cell block rain)
No sleep, no peace
Just me and the chain
Cell block rain, cell block rain
I drown in the shame
