The Storm

Wait just a second 

Don’t go and end it

Did you get my message

At the tone

You’re not alone

Oh I’m dizzy and nauseous

You spin your subconscious 

But if I’m honest

It’s critical and cyclical 

So I

Built the ark before the storm

Dug the grave

Already mourned

I’m prepared to go through hell

Cause you don’t wanna help yourself

I’ve spent the tears and spent the time

But you don’t even wanna try

Oh it twists my gut

Cuts to the core

That I can’t save you anymore

You say you’re tired

Of fighting the fire 

It’s just how you’re wired

From the years of being here

Oh I

Hate to say that I’m running from

All the pain cause it’s made me numb

And I’m bracing for the

Inevitable

Oh please

Know how hard it’s been to lose you slowly

So I

Built the ark before the storm

Dug the grave

Already mourned

I’m prepared to go through hell

Cause you don’t wanna help yourself

I’ve spent the tears and spent the time

But you don’t even wanna try

Oh it twists my gut

Cuts to the core

That I can’t save you anymore

Hate to say that I’m running from

The blood bath before it’s begun

But the dark is deceiving 

No amount of healing

Will rectify the bleeding

Hate to say that I’m running from

Pretending it don’t phase me much

Cause I know that you’re breathing

But you’re barely here and

I’m already grieving 

So I

Built the ark before the storm

Dug the grave

Already mourned

I’m prepared to go through hell

Cause you don’t wanna help yourself

I’ve spent the tears and spent the time

But you don’t even wanna try

Oh it twists my gut

Cuts to the core

That I can’t save you anymore

It twists my gut, cuts to the core

My shattered shell is on the floor 

What’s left of me can’t afford 

To try and save you anymore
