Before the rain falls
Dark clouds above me
And all I see is black
Step into my shoes once
And try to walk through the swamp
I burn my memories like a blunt
‘Cause I see what lies ahead
What lies ahead
Before the rain falls

I lived like a bankrupt off cheap tips
Wandering through the city
I’m not there anymore
Not on the corner, not under the stairwell
Years flew by fast
And not for free
I’m not there anymore
But for all of it, I’ll pay by card

Before the rain falls
Dark clouds above me
And all I see is black
Step into my shoes once
And try to walk through the swamp
I burn my memories like a blunt
‘Cause I see what lies ahead
What lies ahead
Before the rain falls

I’ve been washing dirt away for so long
And that’s why they won’t
Ever hand me the keys to the city
I couldn’t stand tall
But I kept my fingers crossed like crazy
I don’t care who’s got my back
‘Cause trauma won’t break me
You deleted my number – fine
My life ain’t no Moulin Rouge
I was never much of a role model
After tonight, I’ll probably crash down

Before the rain falls
Dark clouds above me
And all I see is black
Step into my shoes once
And try to walk through the swamp
I burn my memories like a blunt
‘Cause I see what lies ahead
What lies ahead
Before the rain falls

I think about who’s gone
And who never calls
Still chasing what’s mine
Like reaching for a Negroni
For the longest time, I feared no god
Only the next day coming
No one’s holding my hand
Or standing on my side
I’ll change that with the new year
I look different now
But I still can’t stand myself
I dress my life in jokes
But I prefer her straight-up
Maybe she’ll explain to me
That home ain’t a hotel

Before the rain falls
Dark clouds above me
And all I see is black
Step into my shoes once
And try to walk through the swamp
I burn my memories like a blunt
‘Cause I see what lies ahead
What lies ahead

Before the rain falls
Dark clouds above me
And all I see is black
Step into my shoes once
And try to walk through the swamp
I burn my memories like a blunt
‘Cause I see what lies ahead
What lies ahead
Before the rain falls
