The Tempest

Saw you the other day

looking so undermined

Acting like it wouldn't happen; making sense of anything that you could find

Because it's just about to happen

and you'll be there

You must have known the storm was coming when the clouds appeared

May as well let the rain come down

And join the circus of people while you're there

Something is changing

bruising and aching

And I'm trying to find out what it is

When I fix her

she's breaking; reason keeps escaping me

Protecting and burning like a cyst

I know that I can help you; I just don't fucking want to

And the feeling gets stronger by the day

Say that I'm selfish

but I don't really need this

And I'm just so sick of the chase

While you are letting your guard down

I will be letting myself go

While you keep running your ship aground

I will be setting myself alight

Too late; you dropped the drawbridge

You let the vampires in

You caused this shit to happen

and now you want out

Too late; you dropped the drawbridge

You let the vampires in

I hope you know now that it's nobody's fault but yours

While you are letting your guard down

I will be letting myself go

While you keep running your ship aground

I will be setting myself alight
