There's a weight

In the air tonight

Heavy hands pressed to my chest

The dark whispers

Pulls me down

But I'm chained here

Doing my best

You see a fortress

Unshaken

Whole

But the cracks are deep

They swallow me whole

The rain is black

The sky won't speak

I'm a tide that breaks

But never peaks

Torn apart

Unravelling slow

A shadow of the man you'll never know

Still I hold

Though I'm not sure why

A quiet storm that longs to die

Yet in your voice

The dark gives way

And I'm cursed to fight another day
