Into the Storm

She walks in like a fever, burning slow A fire I never asked to know Young and wild, a reckless kind of grace Something sacred breaking in her face

I'm not free, I never was to give But God, I've never felt this much to live Every wrong thing feels like it's right When she pulls me deeper into night

This is the storm, I keep walking in Knowing it's poison underneath my skin Nothing good grows out of ash and flame But I say her name, I say her name Into the storm, again, again

I try to run, I pack my heart to leave But she's the knot I never can untie Every door I close, she finds the key Every wall I build, she climbs through me

I'm torn in two, a man split down the spine Half of me is hers, the rest's a crime The harder that I pull against this chain The deeper that it cuts into the vein
