Why does the sky open up
Every time I shut down
Isn't it enough
The people around
When I can't breathe
The sky is screaming
All I want to do is leave
It's always raining here in July
Sink into the deep
Waves crashing over me
Crack in the hull
she's taking on too much
Watch her bleeding
Saltwater in the cuts
She isn't enough is she
Why is it always raining in July
A certain shade of blue
The sky lighting up
When I wish I could be too
The only way I can function
Praying for the day when my eyes
don't match the sky
When it rains in July
