Story Behind the Song
I was thinking of how I can describe my inner pain, and a storm is perfect. I wrote while a peaceful thunderstorm was passing.
Lyrics
(Chorus)
The rain begins to fall on your face,
Fading in and out from all the disgrace,
Open your mouth, if you want the taste,
You sense my heartbeat, offbeat and out-of-pace,
Try to save yourself, when you're runnin' for trees,
Keep yourself warm from the ice cold breeze,
It begins the wrath of thunder and lightning,
The storm that lives and breathes inside me.
The storm that lives inside me...
I sit inside four walls, while the rain falls,
Hold a flashlight between my teeth, 'cause the power's not on at all,
Writin' about things that are on my mind,
Anger, for some reason I keep it all inside,
It's something that I've done all my life,
It hurts like a double edged sword instead of a butter knife,
The sharp pains are felt, when the storm's about to arrive,
It stings like the bees swarmin' from the hive,
The storm brews, as the clouds collide,
It's the same drive that keeps me alive,
So electric that your hair starts to spike,
And you feel my anger every time the lightning strikes,
When the rain fall, you better run for cover,
'Cause this one's gonna be like no other,
You'll never know when the storm will end,
By that time, I will never breathe again.
The storm that lives inside me...
(Chorus)
I can't sleep anymore, from all the raindrops,
'Cause every one that lands makes my heart stop,
The rush of the flash flood, with all my A blood,
It turned my life to a dud,
I could make it more explosive, ground it up like TNT,
Burn the hole in my soul, just plant your seed,
Let it ignite, from all the air that I breathe,
With disaster at every corner, every person I see,
Don't need dry ice to kill this fire,
'Cause it will still burn if you got that lighter,
And if you havn't bought it, you should be a buyer,
And just like Creed, I'm taking you Higher,
You'll realize that life is not fair,
You might die tonight, best be prepared,
I'm still mad, so stay away in your shelter,
Until I decide to get my life together.
The storm that lives inside me...
(Chorus)
I know I'll die young, 'cause I can't push this stress away,
I wish that somehow I can make your life a disaray,
'Cause I want you to see the things that I do,
But you can't, 'cause my life's unglued,
I've been chewed, and spat out, flat out,
Am I out of my mind? Get me the hell out,
'Cause it's leaving me with self doubts,
It's the end of my world, and I will tell you now,
This anger is stackin' in sums,
But it will all be better after the cold front comes,
'Cause after all the s--- that I've done,
I'll have to try again to be #1,
Sometimes it's hard for me to explain,
That love is passion, and pleasure is pain,
Not the mistake in how my life was ran,
But here comes the rain again...
The storm that lives inside me...
(Chorus)
