Midnight Rain

A heart of stone
These waves are crashing at my bones for you
The only part of the weakness I can't undo
But I call for you like you tell me to
And you only push me away
Imprisoned by thoughts I can't escape
Thrown down and kicked in the face by the world
It slowly eats away at your conscience
'Cause you know cannot stop it
I was a man following in the footsteps
That lead astray from those I love
Content with complicating
Calm before the storm
You can't control this feeling anymore
So just close your eyes and I promise it won't feel this way forever
It won't back down 'til your feet are on the ground
With my heart in your hand, I don't know if you understand
That I am buried by waves, slave to a substance and nothing will change
Waste-less rot, I think I've chosen the wrong path
Searching for something to reestablish the love that's gone before it fades to grey
Slave to a substance and nothing will ever change
Calm before the storm
Calm before the storm
