Alone in the Storm

Alone in the Storm [Verse 1] Yeah... Since a young age, I was walking off-beat, Same old roads, but a different heartbeat. They saw sunshine, I was watching the rain, Smiling in the crowd while I swallowed the pain. Mum said, 'Son, why you always so quiet?' I had a whole world in my head, couldn't deny it. Other kids found joy in the same little things, I found ghosts in the silence that the night-time brings. 132 on the clock, let the bassline breathe, Got a thousand things inside I don't let people see. From the estate to the edge of my mind, I've been searching for a place where my soul fits inside. [Chorus] I was alone, alone in the rain, Heart full of thunder, eyes full of pain. Everybody feels, but they don't feel the same, I loved with a fire they could never contain. Alone... but I still stand tall, Alone... when the shadows call. If the whole world turns and forgets my name, I'll still be me, I'll remain the same. [Verse 2] Look— From the river to the red stone hills, Every little moment gave me different chills. Autumn gold when the daylight fades, Lightning in the sky like the choices I've made. Thunder in my chest, got a storm in my blood, Tried to find peace but got lost in the flood. They say we're connected, we're all one soul, But I've been in a room full of people feeling cold. And I don't blame them, nah, that's just life, Some see the beauty, some only see strife. I couldn't borrow joy from another man's smile, Had to walk through the dark for a thousand miles. Pause... No applause, no crowd, no hands in the air, Just a voice in the dark asking, 'Is anybody there?' [Bridge] Maybe I was born with a different kind of flame, Maybe that's the reason I could never play the game. Every loss, every love, every scar that I own, Built a little kingdom where I learned to stand alone. And if I never find somebody who can see, All the hidden colours underneath the skin of me, I'll make peace with the silence, let the piano play, Some hearts are born to feel in their own strange way. [Chorus] I was alone, alone in the rain, Heart full of thunder, eyes full of pain. Everybody feels, but they don't feel the same, I loved with a fire they could never contain. Alone... but I still stand tall, Alone... when the shadows call. If the whole world turns and forgets my name, I'll still be me, I'll remain the same. [Outro] From the torrent to the fountain... From the mountains to the rain... I watched the sun turn autumn gold, And felt a thousand things untold. No one saw it like I did, No one knew the thoughts I hid. And all I loved, I loved alone... Still walking through this world... Still finding my way home.
