Storms

from Demos by Youth Offender

lyrics

And I burned that bridge
Like a cigarette
The plume of consequences drift
Only to settle on my shores
Where savage storms are cast by lovers
And are met with open arms
For what good is a shore without a storm
To bring new driftwood and resolve

Invited to dance with the rain
We make our homes near the tide line
The ebb and flow, such a dangerous game
Alludes to a time when the suffering mind
Will be part of love, just as the body is of war
Both are unneeded functions our egos choose to explore

They say there’s nothing coming
But they don’t know that’s a fact
The horizon tells a different story
And I will tell it back
I hear it groan, and I see it’s face
Sullen with despair
Or maybe anger, I don’t really know
I can’t say I was there
Then the sails they came like white clouds
With hope of a new rain
But they spit ash and fire
A storm of pain

And in the waves
An overwhelming silence
Of things left unsaid
Floating in the violence
And time an enemy
That’s with you ‘till the end
When everything is said and done
It ends up as a friend

It ends up as a friend

A storm is fucking coming
I can feel it in my bones
A storm is coming
The likes of which we’ve never known
