Painting in the Rain by Todrick Hall Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sticks and stones
Hurt harder when you know they're thrown
From no farther than your own sweet home
And you fall flat on the welcome mat
You won't be welcomed at
Walk that line
There's no when you gotta choose a side
There's no gray there's only black and white
And it just ain't right
If we fight then it's just like
[Chorus]
Painting in the rain
Walking in slow motion tryna catch a moving train
Why we overdosin' just to dull a little pain
Joining the parade just to march the other way
It's like painting in the rain
Fighting for a difference but we never wanna change
Right foot lifted, left foot chained
Eyes wide opened but denying what we see, we might as well be out painting in the
(rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain)
[Verse 2]
Paint the sky, with dark words
It's either do or die
To be heard you're gonna risk your life
And if the walls don't crumble down and fall
You might just lose it all
Walk away
There's no danger when you play it safe
There's no anger if you just behave
But if we don't fight for our rights
Then it's just like
[Chorus]
Painting in the rain
Walking in slow motion tryna catch a moving train
Why we overdosin' just to dull a little pain
Joining the parade just to march the other way
It's like painting in the rain
Fighting for a difference but we never wanna change
Right foot lifted, left foot chained
Eyes wide opened but denying what we see, we might as well be out painting in the
(rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain)
[spoken part in video]
"Today is a solemn day. To see our citizens commit acts of treason is especially hard knowing that they are beloved family. But justice is blind, she cares only about what is right and what is pure."
[Chorus]
Painting in the rain
Walking in slow motion tryna catch a moving train
Why we overdosin' just to dull a little pain
Joining the parade just to march the other way
It's like painting in the rain
Fighting for a difference but we never wanna change
Right foot lifted, left foot chained
Eyes wide open but denying what we see
We might as well be out painting in the rain
We might as well be out painting in the rain
Sticks and stones
Hurt harder when you know they're thrown
From no farther than your own sweet home
And you fall flat on the welcome mat
You won't be welcomed at
Walk that line
There's no when you gotta choose a side
There's no gray there's only black and white
And it just ain't right
If we fight then it's just like
[Chorus]
Painting in the rain
Walking in slow motion tryna catch a moving train
Why we overdosin' just to dull a little pain
Joining the parade just to march the other way
It's like painting in the rain
Fighting for a difference but we never wanna change
Right foot lifted, left foot chained
Eyes wide opened but denying what we see, we might as well be out painting in the
(rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain)
