The Storm In Me

(album: The Fire Itself - 2021)

Pull me out of the water
Pull me out of the sea
Pull me out of the water
Don't let the waves take me
I walked on the surface I was pulled beneath

Pull me out of the water
Pull me out of the sea
Pull me out of the water
Before nothing's left of me
In all of this I've only learned how to sink

Your promise feels worthless
A mere thread sent down
It's not enough when you're drowning
Waves raise their thunder I'm sent further underneath
I'm not strong enough to calm the storm in me

Pull me out of the water
Pull me out of the sea
Pull me out of the water
Before nothing's left of me
In all of this I've only learned how to sink

Your promise feels worthless
A mere thread sent down
It's not enough when you're drowning
Waves raise their thunder I'm sent further underneath
I'm not strong enough to calm the storm in me

I'm swimming like the stone in my heart
Watching everything fall apart
I don't want to drown alone
I don't want to drown alone in my dark
My lungs are filling till my chest wants to burst
I tried to carry all of it but I'm at my worst
I thought that I was strong enough to stay afloat
But when the storm rolled in with a bitter wind the waves broke

I don't want to drown alone in my dark

A free fall now into the grip of the void that crushes my ribs

Your promise feels worthless
A mere thread sent down
It's not enough when you're drowning
Waves raise their thunder I'm sent further underneath
I'm not strong enough to calm the storm in me

All of the weight I carry inside
Every dagger at once in my mind
Pulled under screaming with the tide
Left at the bottom, left behind
In all of this I have only learned how to sink
I'm not strong enough to calm the storm in me
