Bare Ground -

It was overcast most of the way

Clouds thick with rain that couldn’t pour

Something was building up in the water

Something was building up in the rain

We were only holding out for nothing, leaving it on bare ground.

When you’re only looking out for yourself, scarcely much is around

It couldn’t last, more of the same

Slashing up the walls in a canvas room

Something was building up in the water

Something was building up in the rain

Sleeping is a simple gesture on the roof

That’s a half truth
