I am the Storm

(Sparse guitar feedback, whispered) Fall... fall... fall into the pit Fall... fall... fall into the pit **[VERSE 1]** You wore a mask of broken glass I thought you'd mend, I thought it'd last You took my hand, pulled me down Into the dark, into your crown I gave you all my bleeding heart You smiled and tore it all apart I fell in love with what you fake And swallowed every lie you make --- **[PRE-CHORUS]** Your throne is built on stolen pain Your scepter's just a rusted chain I see you now— I see it all --- **[CHORUS]** I AM THE STORM Bringing you to your knees I AM THE STORM Set yourself free Crown's melting, knees are bending Your reign is over, I'm ascending I AM THE STORM I AM THE STORM --- **[VERSE 2]** You took my pain, wore it like gold Played the victim, played so cold Found my weakness, made it yours Left me bleeding on your floors But every scar you carved so deep Now burns electric in my sleep You brought the darkness back to me And lit the match—now watch me BREATHE --- **[PRE-CHORUS]** Your courage is just cowardice Behind that mask, a coward's kiss I found my heart—you lost the war --- **[CHORUS]** I AM THE STORM Bringing you to your knees I AM THE STORM Burning wild and free Crown's melting, knees are bending Your reign is over, I'm ascending I AM THE STORM I AM THE STORM --- [guitar solo] **[BRIDGE]** *(Slow, venomous, building)* You thought you had me in your pit You thought I'd break, you thought I'd quit But every trap you set for me Became the lightning that runs free *(Volume rises)* Your mask is slipping, watch it fall I scream it loud—I SCREAM IT ALL You found a tool—you found a FOOL But I found THUNDER in my soul **I AM THE STORM** **I AM THE STORM** **I AM THE STORM** **[FINAL CHORUS]** I AM THE STORM BRINGING YOU DOWN TO YOUR KNEES I AM THE STORM WATCH ME BREAK FREE Crown's melting into nothing Your reign is BURNING, BURNING, BURNING I AM THE STORM I AM THE STORM I AM THE STORM I AM THE STORM
