The Tempest

Saw you the other day 

Looking so undermined 

Acting like it wouldn't happen 

Making sense of anything that you could find 

Because it's just about to happen 

And you'll be there 

You must have known the storm was coming 

When clouds appeared



May as well let the rain come down 

And join the circus of people 

While you're there



Something is changing 

Bruising and aching 

And I'm trying to find out what it is



When I fix her 

She's breaking 

Reason keeps escaping 

We're protecting and burning like a cyst



I know that I can help you 

I just don't fucking want to 

And the feeling gets stronger by the day 

You say that I'm selfish 

But I know you need this 

And I'm just so sick of the chase



While you are letting your guard down 

I will be letting myself go 

While you keep running, don't shake the ground 

I will be setting myself alight



Too late, you dropped the drawbridge 

You let the vampires in 

You caused this shit to happen, and now you want out?



Too late, you dropped the drawbridge 

You let the vampires in 

I hope you know that that is nobody's fault but yours



While you are letting your guard down 

I will be letting myself go 

While you keep running, don't shake the ground 

I will be setting myself alight
