Storm

(Can't stand the storm)

Hurricane in head

(Can't stand the storm)

Whirlpool in my heart

(Can't stand the storm)

Earthquake shakes my bed

(Can't stand the storm)

Richter scale's off the chart

(Can't stand the storm)

When Goddamn Job out that swirling whirling wind

(Can't stand the storm)

(Can't stand the storm)

Dude could only sob

(Can't stand the storm)

How they hell, have I sinned?

(Can't stand the storm)

I can't stand, I can't stand the storm

(Can't stand the storm)

Oh, Lord, have mercy on me

I can't stand, and my knees are so weak

I've been goin' for days and then weeks

I just can't handle no more on me

My shoulders are heavy, I can't bear the levy

It's all coming down on me

I need time to breathe, I need time to see

Where my life is really heading

'Cause I can't stand the storm

My brain's crinkled bad

The rain is drumming down

Wind blasts like a trumpet

Tempest is coming down

Drumstick hard, raindrops hit

(Can't stand the storm

Can't stand the storm)

The heatwave freezes me

(Can't stand the storm)

(Can't stand the storm)

My blood ooze out sleazy

(Can't stand the storm)

(Can't stand the storm)

Self-evidently greasy

(Can't stand the storm)

On strange terrain, prayin' for a world that's more tame

Their sources sayin' all are from Abel or Cain

To say it's ordained, to take in cold blood, and take the Lord's name

In my veins it course, that same blue as pure flames

Poor skin marked with shame and war paint

And made to endure pain

Made to pour blood out until the core's drained

And now we spillin' mud out, drains that stored rain

Dark clouds form, and the proud ignore claims

The crowds ignore warnings, we hate to force change

See, I'm aboard planes, rides to foreign places

Drives to tour states, and eating off forks on plates that's gourmet

Makes me connect the methane to the strain that ate up Bourdain

Same hurricane on Houston shores, Whitney, Prince, and Cobain

Less is more sane

More names swallowed by mine and your waves

The long-lost always the cost of short gains

Long loss always the cost of short gain

Long loss always the cost of short gain

Dancing in the rain

Dancing in the rain

Too hot for me to chill

The Sahara's a sirocco

Make my pillow a low pill

Rock 'n' roll gone rococo

Where can I find shelter?

(Can't stand the storm

Can't stand the storm

Can't stand the storm)

(Can't stand the storm

Can't stand the storm

Can't stand the storm

Can't stand the storm)

The sky is full of drones

Aimin' for me like I'm ISIS

Bad luck everywhere in the ozone

You know I'm in a crisis

The Arctic can't be tropic

Not if you're in love

(Dancin' in the rain)

Never is the weather just a topic

What's below is what's above

Who's below is who's above

(Can't stand the storm

Can't stand the storm

Can't stand the storm

Can't stand the storm)

I can't stand the storm

(Can't stand the storm)

Ain't no tempest in the teapot

My troubles are steeped deep, deep

(Can't stand the storm)

My tears cascade lava hot

(Can't stand the storm)

I die when I drop asleep

(Can't stand the storm)

I just die when I drop asleep
