Rain Damage Lyrics


Molded out of brimstone, learn to take a lashing on the coals
Hot metal pressing on the skin of my goals
I've been walking the plank of it, blindfolded, and know what it's like when the knife's out of the holster
Truth - that's the only reason I'm still alive
Crow's nest, throwing hope into broken sky, no time left to put it on the line
So if anybody asks just tell them I died trying
The gapped-tooth rapper is back, with a bag full of "I-don't-give-a-fuck" for that ass, Rhymesayers, put the logo on the back
If ever you were looking now you knew where I'm at
Name's Benjamin, same as I've ever been
Slipping on a glass full of ice-cold Templeton, cloud city, on the brim, running with my back against the wind.Rain Damage, Found me in the midnight
Walking in the downpour, with that look in my eyesFiled to a point, allergic to the cousin of death,
Up writing with the kick drum stuck in my chest
I've been about it, you can smell it on my breath
There's a fire that's inside of me ready to be set, drive
That's the reason for the fight in me, clock tower
10 Zero 4 lightning, must be something in the blood and the bones
That got me running out risking it all when you won't
The love song rapper is back, with a bus full of mail-riddled baseball bats, B

Lewis put a beatin' on the track, let a 'Sayer got H.A.M. like a bit of babe's ass
Name's Benjamin, same as I've ever been
Common to your town with some dirty rotten gentlemen
Cloud city, rainwater 'till the grave
Sailing with my back against the wave.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Having spent nearly two years on the road touring in support of 88 Keys and Counting, Grieves found himself returning home to a fractured reality. Reeling from turbulence in his career and heartbreak in his personal life mixed with coming down from the high of the support he received on the road Grieves conceptualized Together/Apart, an album that would address the bond music creates between each of us as individuals and as a whole despite the many distances we experience be they geographical or emotional.

The end of 2008 saw Grieves enlisting the help of friend and collaborator Budo to co-produce Together/Apart bringing his signature swiss-army knife, multi-instrumental backdrop to Grieves' hauntingly poignant narrative. The album began taking shape in New York as the two built off the success 88 Keys and Counting had generated and paired it with the intensity they developed from their live performances. The recording process began to shadow the theme of the album as it saw tracks recorded in Colorado and Washington in addition to New York, infusing it with a mixture of regional influences while still maintaining a cohesive sound. As the album neared completion the title took on a double meaning for Grieves as he explored new subject matter in the absence of trust, refuge in addiction, acceptance and honesty in self-reflection, and trying to find his place in the world without forgetting his roots.
