Storm Warning

There's a storm rolling across the prairies of my mind And it's gathering the memories I tried so hard to leave behind Like leaves in a whirlwind blowing from the depths of hell With no way of slowing down as far as I can tell There's a patch you can see through in the very fabric of my soul And each thread is slowly breaking and it's far beyond my control I tried in the beginning to believe that you'd do the right thing by me But I was doomed from the day we met, as far as I can see I know that you've been watching from a place so far away Safe in your seclusion and hidden from the light of day Satisfied to see me slowly running out of time Searching for salvation that I can never find I slink along the roadside looking for a place to rest Feeling like a switchblade is pressing hard against my breast There's a raincloud above me and it follows everywhere I go Dogging me day and night and this is all I know Heaven help the one who's there when it explodes
