Trouble in The Office

Failures Complete Rainy Days

We just kinda expected for
Failures to complete rainy days
Sitting effortlessly
Draining the life force from
Portables charged yesterday to full
Make sure it plays only your favorite song
Because when it’s dead it’s all
You will remember...

So stop guessing when electricity’s
Ever coming back
And rambling on so effortlessly
Like a song stuck in your head
For the longest time you had to sing
It out loud for the most.

Keeping to myself was never an intention
But that’s all I had to do to stay entertained.
You think you have nothing to do with it
This sorry state of being speechless
And you just happen to pluck words
From the air like ripened fruit
And I am left with skins and pits
Nothing to bite into after
A twelve hour fast.
Except...
Maybe...
The last song we both heard before the power came out.
