Ominous Ride - Nymphorainiac

lyrics

Woke up in the morning
In a stimulated mood
What I felt beneath the covers
Was some diamond-chipping wood
I am not the kind who dwells upon
the things I can’t explain
All I know is that that morning it was raining

The next few days were sunny
With my venom levels low
Had a fling, but didn’t finish
Felt diminished down below
For a time, my only lover was despair
Until one day, the clouds returned
And I became aware
The ozone breeze
My weakened knees, baby
Muscles seized, baby

And when the first few drops
Splashed against the window
My sole priority
Was finding my crescendo

Oh,
Curse this hurricane between my legs
Lay in bed and feel the drumming
Coming from the rain

And when the first few drops
Splash against the pavement
I lock myself inside and wonder where the day went

Oh,
Curse this thunder rolling through my veins
Can’t control the inner churning
Pouring down for days
Oh,
I have to lock myself away
Cage this passion-addled atmospheric
Discharge from the rain
