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.
