The Rain I Can't Rewire

Verse 1

Staring at the ceiling fan

Counting every blade for the hundredth time

They said the light would filter in

But I keep missing every sign

I built a wall of cassette tapes

Spinning songs I never understood

My hands shake when I try to trace

The shape of something that felt good

Pre-Chorus

And I'm falling through the static

Falling through the years

Chorus

I was born with broken wiring

Running circles in my brain

Every lesson keeps on firing

But the target stays the same

I was born with broken wiring

And I can't rewire the rain

Post-Chorus

Rain rain rain

Rain rain rain

Verse 2

The teacher drew a circle

I drew the dark inside of me

My mother kept her Bible

I kept a box of memories

The kids all learned their passwords

I learned the weight of being slow

They raced ahead like headlights

I watched the taillights glow and go

Pre-Chorus

And I'm fading through the feedback

Fading through the years

Chorus

I was born with broken wiring

Running circles in my brain

Every lesson keeps on firing

But the target stays the same

I was born with broken wiring

And I can't rewire the rain

Bridge

Maybe slow is just a language

That the fast ones never speak

Maybe broken is the standard

For the ones who see the weak

I'm not dumb I'm just a different

Dialect of being here

I'm not missing I'm just drifting

Through a frequency they fear

Chorus

I was born with broken wiring

Running circles in my brain

Every lesson keeps on firing

But the target stays the same

I was born with broken wiring

And I can't rewire the rain

Post-Chorus

Rain rain rain

Rain rain rain

Rain rain rain
