The Storm

It was a wager with my demons For a story told on stage The dead had not been settled-in I'm running out of space They'll be coming to collect tonight Can only pray the last I'm running for so long Sometimes I wish I would collapse This is a story of a dead man Who is running out of time They see me in the shadows 'Cause I take them where I hide And I am grateful to believe That I could make it through the night With every greatest sin I am running out of life I spill my blood into the moment Pour my heart out on display Will I ever make it back? I haven't slept at home in days I see the fire of your anger But I'm feeding off the flames I understand that you're upset I see you're crying in the rain You can find me bleeding Kickin' and screaming, lost in the feeling You have lost all reason We're all the same We're caught In the eye of the storm It's not safe here We're caught In the eye of the storm I can't stay here You would have lived your life unbroken You can stare into the sun But your destiny has chosen And the answers never come So you think about surrender And survival on the run If you're caught out in the open And your destiny is done I am the chester of the masters for the conflicts that I face Judgement passing by the people who have never known a chase Right be damned it's dangerous, pretend I'm no disgrace It's a racetrack never-ending where the finish line's a grave Whoa-oh-oh-oh Finish line's a grave Whoa-oh-oh-oh We're caught In the eye of the storm It's not safe here We're caught In the eye of the storm I can't stay here We're caught In the eye of the storm I'm afraid here We're caught In the eye of the storm I can't stay here It was a wager with my demons For a story told on stage But the dead had not been settled-in I'm running out of space They'll be coming to collect tonight Can only pray the last I'm running for so long sometimes I wish I would collapse
