"Tempest" lyrics

"Tempest"

Suffocating, I cannot breathe
Choking on anxiety
Is St. Cecilia warning me?
I could lose myself so easily

Cortisol raging
The demise of my cathedral he seeks
Cortisol raging
He's ravenous to control everything

Tempest dragging me down to somewhere
He's there
Tempest dragging me down to where
He'll watch me drown

He segregated me from me
Master of a quiet brutality
With St. Cecilia whispering
"Without a voice, he won't hear you scream."

Cortisol raging
Barely escaping
Barely can breathe
Cortisol raging
I must get to Indian country

Tempest dragging me down to somewhere
He's there
Tempest dragging me down to where
He'll watch me drown

Soon, with a knock on your door
Father George
To your eyes
We are leaving
Soon, the gasoline girls
Fully infused
But soon will be leaving

By St. Paul's in fast pursuit
An ancient truth
Mirrored by Andromeda
Who timed her nurse maids

By St. Paul's
I spy a bridegroom
Who cries
"She has left me -
Swearing she's 'trapped
Behind a mask
And must be her own man'."

She's hit the road
To form her own
Goodbye girls
Gasoline girls
Electric band
