When the storm starts to rise, it comes on quicker than I can deal with
Batten down the edge of my shelter and hide
I seek a little safety in this world of my own concoction
There’s no beauty in this power if it’s not mine

The door’s locked tight up against the jamb I want to keep the storm outside

The winds cannot touch me here as trees are pulled to pieces
The rain drums incessantly on every side
It’s the noise that makes me want to cry, it’s deafening and relentless
Like a thousand angry voices in the sky

I can’t fight the storm it’s bigger than me, destructive and elemental
It’s a waste of time like punching holes in rain

The sun’s not here, it abandoned me, left me cold and shivering in this maelstrom of violence and fear
I need to speak but my words are gone, I’ve lost control of everything, I’m so helpless if nobody else can hear

Who says that night is dark and full of terror, when weather’s far more frightening?
There’s a rage to it I simply can’t control
The air feels thick and it’s hard to breathe, the atmosphere is stifling
The thunder cracks out a rhythm of its own

I can’t fight the storm it’s bigger than me, destructive and elemental
It’s a waste of time like punching holes in rain

The sun’s not here, it abandoned me, left me cold and shivering in this maelstrom of violence and fear
I need to speak but my words are gone, I’ve lost control of everything, I’m so helpless if nobody else can hear

This is so embarrassing, lost my nerve, my wits, my everything, debased myself in new and inventive ways
I need a brand-new narrative till the rain relents and the black clouds lift
Hold tight to the hope, memory kinda fades…

This storm will pass as it always does, the sky’s now clear but it never lasts
I’ll keep my eye on the horizon for days
Apparently this in my head you’ve made me see black and blue are red
I’m grateful, as your blows rain down on me

The sun’s not here, it abandoned me, left me cold and shivering in this maelstrom of violence and fear
I need to speak but my words are gone, I’ve lost control of everything, I’m so helpless if nobody else can hear

I’ll keep my head down now
