Lyrics

Tempest

[Verse 1]

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 thе reasons why

You left me hеre in your wake

If you had only told me I won't be the same

I won’t be the same

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Bridge]

I won't deny (I can't deny)

I feel like every explanation was a lie (I watched you bleed dry)

I feel like every confrontation was contrived (You laid your own grave)

I knew the drugs that you were taking took your mind

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)

[Verse 4]

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
