"Tempest" lyrics
I feel the tempest grow
Deep inside
I never let it let me go
Let me die
I felt the first September cold
In July
And now I feel the pressure grow
Every night inside
I hate the season I grieve behind
And monuments that I made
I pray for peace underneath the tides
And solace under the waves
I disregarded the reasons why
You left me here in your wake
If you had only told me I won't be the same
I won't be the same
Riptides drag me to damnation
Shorelines lead me to my grave
Capsize the last place I kept faith in
Baptize me beneath the waves
Can't take this feeling anymore
When expectations rise
Last night I felt the ocean floor
It left me paralyzed
I dragged my body through the storm
But left my head behind
I let the tempest define my life
I dread the colder days
Quiet nights
You fell the night I drove away
You might've died
The pills let you ignore the pain
But you were fine
It's hard to keep your story straight
If you're doing lines all night
I know
That I kept your ghost
Instead of moving on
I hope
That I'm left below
When the tempest overflows
I used to hate when nights would pass slowly
But now the days are moving too fast
The coast is disappearing below me
My life won't last
Riptides drag me to damnation
Shorelines lead me to my grave
Capsize the last place I kept faith in
Baptize me beneath the waves
Can't take this feeling anymore
When expectations rise
Last night I felt the ocean floor
It left me paralyzed
I dragged my body through the storm
But left my head behind
I let the tempest define my life
I always reminisce beneath the autumn sky
Clear all the spiderwebs that gathered over time
I bought the Ibanez in 2005
I practiced no it isn't every single night
To escape my life
Ten years go by
Met up with Ry the night I wrote 345
I cut the vocal takes with Tom in late July
So much has changed but I can still remember why
I never slept that night
I won't deny (I won't deny)
I feel like every explanation was a lie
I feel like every confrontation was contrived (I watched you bleed dry)
I knew the drugs that you were taking took your mind (You laid your own grave)
While I just stood by (You made me this way)
I drove away (I drove drunk through snow)
I took the Lynnway underneath the pouring rain
It turned to snow when I pulled off 128 (The night you let go)
Gloucester was beautiful if I could see it straight (And I kept your ghost)
That was rough that day (To find my own)
I swear you're with me all the time
The resentment never dies
I hate the memory of you alone on that night
I wish I never looked inside
When the tempest took your eyes
I cried the night that I wrote UFOs in the Sky
I hate to say it out loud
But for seven years straight
I learned to hate October
So let me go down
And suffer my fate
Watch as the waves draw closer
I know
That I kept your ghost
Instead of moving on
I hope
That I'm left below
When the tempest overflows
Deep inside
I never let it let me go
Let me die
I felt the first September cold
In July
And now I feel the pressure grow
Every night inside
I hate the season I grieve behind
And monuments that I made
I pray for peace underneath the tides
And solace under the waves
I disregarded the reasons why
You left me here in your wake
If you had only told me I won't be the same
I won't be the same
Riptides drag me to damnation
Shorelines lead me to my grave
Capsize the last place I kept faith in
Baptize me beneath the waves
Can't take this feeling anymore
When expectations rise
Last night I felt the ocean floor
It left me paralyzed
I dragged my body through the storm
But left my head behind
I let the tempest define my life
I dread the colder days
Quiet nights
You fell the night I drove away
You might've died
The pills let you ignore the pain
But you were fine
It's hard to keep your story straight
If you're doing lines all night
I know
That I kept your ghost
Instead of moving on
I hope
That I'm left below
When the tempest overflows
I used to hate when nights would pass slowly
But now the days are moving too fast
The coast is disappearing below me
My life won't last
Riptides drag me to damnation
Shorelines lead me to my grave
Capsize the last place I kept faith in
Baptize me beneath the waves
Can't take this feeling anymore
When expectations rise
Last night I felt the ocean floor
It left me paralyzed
I dragged my body through the storm
But left my head behind
I let the tempest define my life
I always reminisce beneath the autumn sky
Clear all the spiderwebs that gathered over time
