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
