Ring around the static rain.

Ring around the static rain,

Where nothing ever falls but pain.

The monsters tell us who we are

Underneath the bruising scar.

 

Ring around the static rain,

Where there’s no love and there’s no shame.

Voices tell us what to do

In response to finding you.

 

Ring around the static rain

Where nothing’s lost and nothing’s gained.

Your future’s bleak, your past is gone

Nothing matters, nothing’s wrong.

 

Ring around the static rain,

Where language tangles, words can maim.

Colors flutter past my eyes

Demons frolic in disguise.

 

Ring around the static rain,

Where, try and try, we work in vain.

Blood flows steady but no one’s hurt

Flowers play dead in the dirt.

 

Ring around the static rain,

Where everything is just a game.

Your life is always on the line

And nothing’s ever close to fine.

 

Ring around the static rain.
