Another side effect
A complication of involvement, indirect
I don't know what the world would expect
Dearest dependency
A common option for the common man lost at sea
The writing on the wall wasn't cheap
Halfway to hell and back
Can't help but realize just how long I've been off track
I didn't think of how you'd react
A static state of mind
A sudden breakthrough, a final fatal find
I know I'm not the first of my kind
But I just wish for a break in the rain
Nothing's ever quite the same
When they're wearing out your name but you
Can't complain, no
And it's too late now to keep counting the days
Either justify the phase
Or re-customize my fate, god damn
I can barely stay awake
Bending until I break
Can't seem to comprehend how much is still at stake
I'm thinking positively even though my memory feels fake
Caught up on Walnut Street
Layers of shamefulness surrounded by sheer conceit
Kinda scared of when my antihero character comes clean
But I just wish for a break in the rain
Nothing's ever quite the same
When they're wearing out your name but you
Can't complain, no
And it's too late now to keep counting the days
Either justify the phase
Or re-customize my fate
Even when I try and concentrate
I just can't stay awake
In this rain
