Yeah… I should’ve seen it coming… But hurricanes look pretty from a distance… She wakes up swinging at shadows on the wall Got a whole damn courtroom in her head and she’s judge over all The neighbors ain’t listening The world don’t know her name But she’s yelling at the clouds like they’re cheating at her game Every scratch is a crisis Every bump is a war Every little inconvenience gets kicked through the front door She’s podcasting her madness to an audience of none Meanwhile I’m working double shifts just trying to see my sons The grass ain’t green enough The house ain’t clean enough The weather ain’t right And the moon ain’t mean enough Everybody’s guilty Everybody’s wrong And somehow every damn disaster gets blamed on me all day long You can’t reason with thunder You can’t bargain with rain You just hold the damn roof And pray it don’t break I married the storm And the storm married me She’s a five-alarm wildfire screaming through the trees She’s fucking crazy She’s beautiful rage Burning every damn bridge Then blaming the flames She wants the whole world spinning Exactly her way And if reality disagrees Then reality pays Yeah I married the storm And brother… The storm don’t sleep She wants control of chaos Wants the ocean in chains Wants the wind asking permission Before it blows again Got a thousand accusations And a million complaints If misery was currency she’d own the whole damn bank She don’t like peace She don’t like fun She don’t trust happiness in anyone She sees conspiracies hiding in the light And picks a brand-new battlefield every single night If she starts a fire It’s somebody else’s spark If she drives the ship aground It’s because the sea was dark Round and round and round we go Same movie every day Different screaming Same damn ending Different words to say You can’t reason with thunder You can’t bargain with rain You just stand in the wreckage And laugh through the pain I married the storm And the storm blew me down Left me crawling through the rubble of a broken little town She’s fucking crazy Like lightning in a cage Burning every good moment With another burst of rage She wants the whole world spinning Exactly her way And if reality disagrees Then reality pays Yeah I married the storm And the storm don’t care Here’s the funny part… I stayed. For the kids. For the hope. For tomorrow. For the lie that maybe next week would be different. [Build] But storms don’t apologize Storms don’t explain Storms just keep storming And leave somebody else the pain [Full band enters] And maybe that’s the saddest thing Under all the noise A hurricane don’t know it’s drowning Everything it destroys I MARRIED THE STORM! And the storm blew me down! Still standing in the wreckage Still the last man in town! She’s fucking crazy! Everybody can see! Except the woman in the mirror Staring back at me! She wants the whole damn universe Marching in a line But the universe keeps laughing And brother so do I I married the storm! I survived the storm! And that’s one hell of a story For the rest of my life! Storm… Storm… Storm… Yeah… Should’ve married a campfire.
