I am experimenting with styles of the 90s and early 2000s. I used the Micro Korg keyboard for most of my synth sounds.

Lyrics:

I, I haven't had the chance to cross the line
And I, grab pockets full of sand, one at a time
But don't know where to go 
Go from door to door
Yes, it's door after door
Shutting out each tear, here it goes

It feels like, pouring rain and it's raining and it will never stop raining and and

It feels like every day is the same, repeating today, every day, and and and

You're running on low
You're running on low

On a palette full of colors, touching up that little bit of "plea"
Using blue. A touch of green. A touch of red.
Can't differentiate---it's all a blur 
Ain't nowhere to stay
Go from place to place 
Yes, from place to place
Shutting down each tear, here it goes

It feels like, pouring rain and it's raining and it will never stop raining and and

It feels like every day is the same, repeating today every day and and and

You're running on low!

A clear day, one day!

It feels like, pouring rain and it's raining and it will never stop raining and and

It feels like every day is the same, repeating today every day and and and

You're always alone 
You're so all alone
You're so all alone
You're all alone, and and

It feels like, each drop of rain
Gets heavier, gets heavier

Rain! (All the clouds)
Rain! (Every cloud)
All the clouds, they need to need to match!
Rain (Every cloud)!
Rain!
