Lyrics
[Verse]
Bass swells like a funeral dirge
Organ pipes scream in the stairwell dust
Drums hit the floorboards like a hammer strike
Electric guitar weeps in chromatic noise
[Verse 1]
Thunder cracks the tin roof overhead
Lightning splits the sky into gray shards
Rain drumming hard on the gutter drain
Wind howls through the broken windowpane
Heavy clouds press down on the garden bed
Where wilted stems lie drowned and dead
Mud sloughs off the boots on the porch floor
Soaking deep into the rotting floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Male speaks low: "The storm won't stop"
Female whispers back: "It's as if it stops"
Their voices weave like vines around the bone
A tangled mess of sound all on their own
[Chorus]
Drown us out with water, wash the fear away
Strike the match, watch the spark turn to a haze
Let the thunder roar until the walls give way
Rise up in the gale and make us pay
Drown the past, let the current take the bone
Drown the past, let the current take the stone
[Verse 2]
Puddles mirror a sky that won't resolve
Hail hits hard against the front door seal
Frost begins to form on the cold glass pane
Reflected in the rain upon the pane
A flash of lightning illuminates the room
Where dried-up flowers sit upon the tomb
Of what used to be a garden filled with bloom
Now just a patch of mud beneath the gloom
[Pre-Chorus]
Male speaks low: "The storm won't stop"
Female whispers back: "It's as if it stops"
Their voices weave like vines around the bone
A tangled mess of sound all on their own
[Chorus]
Drown us out with water, wash the fear away
Strike the match, watch the spark turn to a haze
Let the thunder roar until the walls give way
Rise up in the gale and make us pay
Drown the past, let the current take the bone
Drown the past, let the current take the stone
[Bridge]
Spoken male: "Break the glass, break the chain"
Spoken female: "Break the glass, break the vein"
Organ bellows deep, a guttural cry
As lightning flashes from the darkened sky
Rain pours down in sheets so thick and gray
Washing every memory far away
[Final Chorus]
Drown us out with water, wash the fear away
Strike the match, watch the spark turn to a haze
Let the thunder roar until the walls give way
Rise up in the gale and make us pay
Drown the past, let the current take the bone
Drown the past, let the current take the stoneThunder fades into the heavy rain
Lightning strikes one last time over the plain
Water rises up to meet the roof
Silence hangs above in the deepest grief
Thunder fades into the heavy rain
