Tornado Warning

+ Show full styles

Verse 1 (The Initial Panic - Rap Flow)

(Fast, breathless delivery over a nervous, driving rhythm):

Sky went that ugly shade, the one you never wanna see downtown, Every phone started screaming, putting all the other noise down. I checked the weather channel, but the lines were running out of time, yeah, Four minutes flat to get below that surface line. Power flickering fast, the dog is hiding underneath the bed, But I’m still staring at the screen, and I can't get out of my head. Where's the flashlight, where's the battery, where's the damn key to the door? This isn't just a storm, this is what we've been running from before!

Chorus

(Sung Melodically): I'm caught up in the Tornado Warning, spinning faster than the doubt! (Sung Melodically): Can you feel the floor is breaking? Can you hear them screaming out? (Melodic Shouted): We don't need a safe house or a cellar, just stay right here with me, (Melodic Shouted): 'Cause nothing else matters when the end is all that we can see!

Verse 2 (The Physical/Emotional Chaos - Rap Flow)

Kitchen chairs are stacked up, the flashlights barely hold a beam, We're sitting in the corner, trying to hold onto some kind of dream. Wind outside is howling like a hungry, living, awful thing, And the pressure in my eardrums is the only damn song that I can sing. Everything that matters is reduced to the square foot where we hide, Waiting for the moment when the chaos has to truly ride. They told us "be prepared," but they never told us how to react, When the damage is personal, there ain't no taking that thing back.

Bridge (The Emotional Revelation - Extended Melodic Section)

(Music softens significantly, vocals are melodic, full of vulnerable urgency):

I don't care about the forecast, I don't care what they decree, All the money and the memories are worthless now to me. I just know that if the roof goes, if the whole damn house caves in, You are the only thing that matters, where the world ends and we begin. The sirens are still bleeding, they won't let us forget the fact, That there's no way to control this, there's no way to track it back.

Guitar/Synth Solo

(Short, intense, emotional solo over the chord progression of the chorus, quickly building tension.)

Chorus

Outro (Slowing Down)

(Music fades quickly, leaving only the sound of high-hats and a repeating, simple guitar lick. Vocals are nearly whispered):

Just you and me. Just you and me in the center of the storm.
