Lyrics
intro]
[Verse 1]
In the gallery of my chest
Where the portraits crack and bleed
There's a weather I can't arrest
A hurricane of want and need
The chandeliers are swinging wild
Above the ballroom of my bones
And I'm the architect's strange child
Building towers from the stones
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear it building?
The percussion in my veins
Every nerve is willing
To detonate in flames
[Chorus]
This is the tempest chamber
Where my hungers come to war
Lightning strikes the rafters
Thunder shakes the floor
I am the storm conductor
And the victim of the rage
In the tempest chamber
Where I rattle in my cage
[Verse 2]
There's a carnival inside me
With the tent poles bending back
All the creatures trying to hide me
From the violence of the track
Round and round the horses gallop
Through the wreckage of my mind
And I'm choking on the wallop
Of the feelings left behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear it screaming?
The orchestra of pain
Everything is teeming
With the pleasure and the stain
[Chorus]
This is the tempest chamber
Where my hungers come to war
Lightning strikes the rafters
Thunder shakes the floor
I am the storm conductor
And the victim of the rage
In the tempest chamber
Where I rattle in my cage
[Bridge]
I could be your barometer
Your lesson in disaster
Watch me rise and fall,ometer
Spinning ever faster
There's no calm in this eye
Only teeth and wanting
I'm the question asking why
While the answer goes on haunting
[Final Chorus]
This is the tempest chamber
Where my hungers come to war
Lightning splits me open
Thunder begs for more
I am the storm conductor
The composer and the page
In the tempest chamber
I am gloriously enraged
[Outro]
The tempest chamber
The tempest chamber
Where I rage
Where I rage
[Piano diminishes to single notes]
