Rain - Emily's Army

A hundred-eighty days go by of constant topple on the page

Fill it with words until it falls further gone and outta reach

Faster, faster it goes on and I’m stuck mud as turtles pass

But give me time and open page, and I’ll learn the books beyond my age

But there’s one thing, and overtone of rain

Pick me up and out of me

Soon as I can see the rain

Out the door into the trees, I can hear my thoughts again

Half across the world and back nostalgia’s come to take a hit

I say hit me till I’m lit, with a light that takes my mind back home

Look to the left and all’s gone lit with signs that say I’ve made it through

Out of school into the sky I go and fly beyond my own

Look to the right and I’m still stuck in chains that keep me from myself

Complete with symbols I can’t read that mathematicians live and breath

But there’s one thing, and overtone of rain

Pick me up and out of me

Soon as I can see the rain

Out the door into the trees, I can hear my thoughts again

Half across the world and back nostalgia’s come to take a hit

I say hit me till I’m lit, with a light that takes my mind back

But there’s one thing, and overtone of rain

Pick me up and out of me

Soon as I can see the rain

Out the door into the trees, I can hear my thoughts again

Half across the world and back nostalgia’s come to take a hit

I say hit me till I’m lit, with a light that takes my mind back home

Back home
