09. You Slow Down

The Rain Falls Sideways
by Benjamin Daniel

Lyrics:

Rose of Aaron’s beard is hard to come by in this city
Everyone’s been hustling and I’ve got a broken leg
Things I once aspired to, but now I think it’s a pity
Leaving everyone behind so we can get ahead
I could be projecting, but it doesn’t change the testing
Ever’s in the desert, I was lost and left alone
Guess you felt the same cause you don’t pencil in my name
But knowing lead’s erasable, you carve me out in stone
So can we take an evening to just drive around for nothing?
Know we’re in good company no matter what we do
Cause lately I’ve been feeling like my worth is in my working
You slow down enough for me to say it isn’t true
Let me take a breather here with you
And the war of my mind’s worsening
When the world won’t stop its working
I still drive to Lancaster when LA moves to fast
Ride along and help my vision as I fall through this transition
Long enough to hold to something temporal that can last
So can we take an evening to just drive around for nothing
Talk about our futures till we get a better view
Cause lately I’ve been reeling, so displaced and undeserving
You come by enough for me to see I make it through
You slow down enough for me to hold to what is true
So can we take an evening to just drive around for nothing?
Know we’re in good company no matter what we do
Cause lately I’ve been feeling like my worth is in my working
You slow down enough for me to say it isn’t true
