The Storm Before the Calm
Until I taste my last breath Until I hear my final heartbeat Until I see the face of death I will carry you with me

The door is swinging from its hinges But you've no interest in escaping The walls that you have felt so safe in Become a prison of your making When blind lead the blind Only darkness they find The road is paved with good intentions But you've no idea where you're going Betrayed by your own inventions Without knowing But you don't see it Your eyes are clenched like fists No, you don't even feel it Oh, how your blindfold fits Are you a parasite Or a proselyte Is it ignorance Or arrogance I see no difference No light

You're still clutching to your broken heart Standing on these hollow bones Believing the lie that you can do this on your own Just take it away Take this emptiness inside Give me something real It seems I can't rely on how I feel Take this pain away It's killing me I've had all I can take Now set me free You don't know what you're asking for Take these pieces of my life Put them back together I keep losing this fight And it's been forever Take this pain away It's killing me I've had all I can take Now set me free You don't know what you're asking for I'm making all things new And it starts with you Brace yourself for the end For the end of yourself

Give me rest Give me peace Give me strength to face the days of my unbelief Wake me when I'm dead Take these scars Let them speak Of hope to lift me up in my day of defeat Wake me when I'm dead Are you alive Or is it all in your head How will you survive If you're already dead

Can you hear me I'm dying, crying out Show me something I'm starting to doubt Is heaven silent Were you ever there Give me a reason To think you even care (I'm) falling faster with each passing day All the pieces slowly break away Revealing hollowness inside If you're alive then there's no need to hide Show yourself Don't hide from me No worn out slogans Just help me see Run Runaway Run to me Can you hear me With my dying breath It is finished I'm swallowed up in death But that's not the end I am the victory The grave is conquered And you can be free (You're) falling faster with each passing day Little pieces slowly break away Revealing hollowness deep down inside If you're alive then there's no need to hide Show yourself Don't hide from me No worn out slogans Just run to me I came to you when you couldn't come to me

I'm tired of just surviving Slow dancing with death every day of my life I'm tired of just accepting this pain I want to live I'm tired of never thriving Slow dancing with death every day of my life Help me to remember my name I want to live I want to live Before I die

I am disintegrating The man I used to be Slowly evaporating Still I fight the process Longing to remain If it were up to me I would stay the same But it's not up to me And that sets me free I rest in knowing that Though I am a mess I am possessed You will never change You will never leave You always finish what you start and You're working in me And you will never fail I am disappearing Right before my eyes Moving towards the clearing Still I fight the process Longing to remain If it were up to me I would stay the same (But) You will never fail

The flesh canât keep the ghost within Once the voice has been heard The bonds dissolve, the light increases Underneath the skin Break away Make the turn Walk away And watch it burn I know that the end is coming I hear the beating of the heart That sends all the darkness running And brings a brand new start The shadows growing longer every day Darkening the surface They still point the way, just in reverse I know the dawn is coming (When) everything will burn
