The Trouble

Ricia Rae

Phew! Song 10 of my RPM 2024 done. Well, this is more of an experimental piece…I threw a bit of everything in…prophet synth, electric guitar, and even some crowd noise (I loved it when Bjork did that so…). The power cutout just as I was finishing it - that’s a good sign.

I’m the hunger
I’m your fire
do you feel it
turns you
inside out

I’m the river
I’m your water
I’m the trouble
Filling you with doubt

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
Filling you with doubt

I’m the movement
of the ocean
I’m the bird
That flies above your head

I’m the trouble
In the water
left unspoken
Things you never said

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
Things you never said

What did you think?
Where did you go?
How did you feel?
When everything
Fell down around you?

You couldn’t say
Quite what it was
Or was it real
Even when they
Thought they found you
Even when they
Thought they found you
Even when they
Thought they found you

I’m the message
In your bottle
I’m the poison
That you tried to take

I’m the trouble
Under the water
all the feeling
all your love and hate

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
All your love and hate

-The End- RPM 2024 DONE
