Riding Out The Storm

(album: Wrong Side Of Paradise - 2023)

I can't stand my own reflection
When all I'm seeing is myself
The devil comes out when the whiskey goes in
I wish I was someone else
I'm dining out on no money
Existing with no life
Don't you think that it's kind of funny
That only the weak survive

I'm just scared enough of dying
That it makes me wanna live

I'm just riding out the storm
I'm just riding out the storm
Somewhere safe and warm
I'm just riding out the storm

I grew up with echoes of damnation
Ringing in my ears
All alone and forsaken
I carried the hurt for years
I toiled beside my father
I prayed beside my mother
I watched as time stole everything
But the hope she was reaching out for

I'm just scared enough of dying
That it makes me wanna live

I'm just riding out the storm
I'm just riding out the storm
Somewhere safe and warm
I'm just riding out the storm

I'm just riding out the storm
I'm just riding out the storm
'Til I get where I belong
I'm just riding out the storm

It's like the first drop of rain in a hurricane
It's not a question of if but a question of when
You're never gonna change what you won't confront
If you cut me to the bone then I'll answer you in blood

I'm just scared enough of dying
That it makes me wanna live

I'm just riding out the storm
I'm just riding out the storm
Somewhere safe and warm
I'm just riding out the storm

I'm just riding out the storm
I'm just riding out the storm
'Til I get where I belong
I'm just riding out the storm
