[Intro: solo acoustic guitar] [Verse 1 - gentle fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft low solo vocal, quiet folk] Midnight train and a thousand eyes Bent toward the glow of tiny skies Nobody speaks, nobody turns Behind the glass, the whole world burns [Verse 2 - solo vocal, faint distant thunder, low sub bass rumble far away] I kept my words inside my coat Like letters no one ever wrote And somewhere far beyond the rain I hear the thunder call my name [Pre-Chorus - solo vocal, light rain, muffled drums approaching] Clouds are gathering overhead Heavy with the words unsaid [Chorus - storm breaks, full band, two-part harmony, calm controlled vocals] Here in the eye of the storm I can finally breathe All around me the sky is torn By the words I couldn't speak [Drop - heavy reese bass lead, bass carries the melody, instrumental, no guitar] [Verse 3 - solo vocal, driving groove, background guitar texture] I've been a shadow in the crowd Afraid to say a word out loud I smiled and nodded, played my part With all that thunder in my heart [Pre-Chorus - solo vocal, building] Clouds are breaking overhead Pouring out the words unsaid [Chorus - full drums, two-part harmony, calm controlled vocals] Here in the eye of the storm I can finally breathe All around me the sky is torn By the words I couldn't speak Let it rain, let it pour I'm not silent anymore [Bridge - sudden calm, gentle acoustic guitar, soft solo vocal] When the rain has washed the street And the city falls asleep I will carry what I found In the middle of the sound [Build-up - thunder returns, drum rolls] Hear the thunder Feel it rising [Final Chorus - full band, two-part harmony, vocals stay calm] Here in the eye of the storm I can finally breathe Let the sky be split and torn Every word is breaking free Let it rain, let it pour I'm not silent anymore [Final Drop - heavy reese bass lead, bass carries the melody, soft chopped vocal fragments, no guitar] Eye of the storm Let it pour [Outro - storm passes, gentle fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft solo vocal] Midnight train and a thousand eyes Still bent toward their tiny skies I lift my head into the rain And finally, I speak again
