I Make Weather by Flix Greyson

[Verse 1]
I walk into a room
And count the windows first
Not for sunlight
But for exits
Not for comfort
But for worse
I can feel the pressure changing
In a laugh, a look, a tone
By the time the storm is forming
I have named it as my own
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t mean to darken
Every sky I pass beneath
I just learned to read the thunder
Before it learned to speak
[Chorus]
I make weather
I don’t mean to
I turn silence into rain
I make shelter
I make thunder
I make sunlight feel ashamed
And I’m trying
God, I’m trying
Not to flood what I should hold
But I make weather
And I never know
Which way the wind will go
[Verse 2]
I can turn a closed door
Into winter in my hands
Take a pause and make it lightning
Take a breath and make it land
I can smile like it is nothing
While the clouds begin to bruise
Then apologise for raining
On the room I didn’t choose
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it isn’t fair
To make the air confess
For every old disaster
That I haven’t laid to rest
[Chorus]
I make weather
I don’t mean to
I turn silence into rain
I make shelter
I make thunder
I make sunlight feel ashamed
And I’m trying
God, I’m trying
Not to flood what I should hold
But I make weather
And I never know
Which way the wind will go
[Bridge]
Maybe I am not the storm front
Maybe I am not the sky
Maybe I am just a body
That was taught to ask why
Why the light changed
Why the room stilled
Why the voice went soft
Why the door closed
Why the warmth left
Why it always costs
I don’t want to be a warning
I don’t want to be the rain
I don’t want to make my feelings
Something others have to name
So let me learn the forecast
Let me feel and not become
Every cloud that crosses over
Every fear that blocks the sun
[Final Chorus]
I make weather
But I’m learning
I can let the silence stay
I can feel the thunder gather
Without calling it my name
I make shelter
I make sunlight
I make storms and soft blue skies
I am not only the damage
I am not only what arrives
And I’m trying
God, I’m trying
To be gentle with the cold
I still make weather
But I’m learning how
To let the weather go
[Outro]
I walk into a room
And count the windows first
But tonight I leave them open
For the light, not for the worst.
