Cicada

I feel like lately it's always raining
It leaves me drenched and soaking wet
And there's no time to get dry
Because I'm never warned about the worst storms

I can't form words to say what I need
Shallow footprints covered up by everything
But I still try to hold it tight

Everything feels like goodbye
So I avoid it all the time

Pinned to the clotheslines where I hang out to try
Stuck in place to shrink in the sunshine
My skin is shrinking, it doesn't feel like mine
It doesn't fit me right

So I'll shed off my skin and sing the summers away
Because it rained all through April, but flowers never came
