The Small Black Flowers - Weather the Storm Lyrics

Waging wars in my head
While I lie wide awake in my bed
Trying hard just to find any place in my mind I can go so I'll hold
Out the storm playing dead
Under chemical calm of a lit cigarette
With my heart skipping beats tripping over its feet
As I struggle to catch any breath

I think I know why I must weather the storm
Why I must fight to get home
And I want you to know

In the car driving south
Had to pull up and stop to let my demons out
As I shook loose my bones, muscles seized body cold
And the dread I was losing it all
All the light in my dreams
When I close up my eyes I see purple and green
And it's hard even knowing what's real so it seems
Cos I can't even tell I'm asleep

I think I know why I must weather the storm
Why I must fight to get home
And I want you to know

Well even the mighty can fall to the horrors that haunt them within
When stuck with your back to the wall and the ceiling and floor caving in
I can't carry it for you but I will stand with you my friend
Yeah I will stand with you my friend

I think I know why I must weather the storm
Why I must fight to get home
And I want you to know
And I want you to know
Yes I want you to know
