Tempest Songtext
von Rise From Ashes

There′s a place that still breathes without me
Streetlights flicker like dying stars
Your shadow walks those empty sidewalks
While I rot beneath the skies
I left with fire in my lungs
Swore I'd outrun what we were

Every grief I try to drown
Learns to breathe beneath the waves
Every tear I never cried
Comes back sharpened like a blade

This is the price I pay out of pride and quiet shame
But distance is a parasite
And it′s chewing through my veins
There's a black tide rising in my chest
Every grief I tried to bury
Comes back screaming in the rain


I'm drowning in my own design
A cyclone made of memory
Every step away from my home
Is another crack in me

Every grief I try to drown
Learns to breathe beneath the waves
Every tear I never cried
Comes back sharpened like a blade

I left you in a dying sunset
With promises that I never kept
I can′t change the past
Or bring back the dead

Now the sky inside me fractures
Now the ground beneath me splits
Nothing I do or nothing I say
Will ever stay the same
Nothing else will ever stay the same

I built these walls with blood and bone
A fortress I could call my own
But you slipped in with your velvet lies
A shadow wrapped in a sweet disguise
