The Storm Obeys Me [Intro — whispered / dark ambience] I notice everything. I hear what hides beneath the words. I knew before you spoke. I knew before it hurt. [Verse 1 — low melodic rap] I hear the floorboards talk, hear the walls breathe, Hear the fake calm sitting underneath. I see the little shifts, see the eyes move, Feel the whole room change before the truth proves. All I wanted was peace, just a place to rest, No war in my blood, no blade in my chest. But they keep poking the wound like they want a show, Like a coward throws stones from a room below. And my mind gets loud, turns the lights to red, Every insult comes back with a crown on its head. I could become the thing that they swear I am, But I won’t let a rat turn a wolf into a man with no plan. [Pre-Chorus — rising] I am the fire, but I choose the frame. I am the thunder, but I hold the rain. I am not weak because my hands stay clean. I am the storm, but the storm obeys me. [Chorus — huge / sung] I am the war, I am the storm, I am the silence before it forms. I am the rage underneath the sea, But the storm obeys me. All I wanted was peace, But peace is not defeat. I don’t kneel, I don’t break, I don’t bleed for the weak. I am the war, I am the storm, I am the dark where the light is born. I could burn down everything I see, But the storm obeys me. [Verse 2 — sharper / controlled] I know the voice of a coward when it hides in noise, Making little men feel big with a broken toy. They taunt from shadows, then run from face, Try to drag my soul down into their place. But I’ve met my monster, I know his name, I’ve sat with the shadow, I’ve held the flame. I’ve been both hands, I’ve been blade and balm, Now I turn that war into iron calm. So no, I don’t need blood just to prove I’m real, I don’t need revenge just to make them feel. My peace has teeth, my silence has weight, I close the door and let God judge fate. [Pre-Chorus — stronger] I am the fire, but I choose the frame. I am the thunder, but I hold the rain. I am not weak because my hands stay clean. I am the storm, but the storm obeys me. [Chorus — repeat / bigger] I am the war, I am the storm, I am the silence before it forms. I am the rage underneath the sea, But the storm obeys me. All I wanted was peace, But peace is not defeat. I don’t kneel, I don’t break, I don’t bleed for the weak. I am the war, I am the storm, I am the dark where the light is born. I could burn down everything I see, But the storm obeys me. [Bridge — stripped / spoken-sung] Peace is not surrender. Peace is command. Peace is when the blade exists And never leaves the hand. Peace is not silence. Peace is not fear. Peace is when the war arrives And still, I keep it here. In my chest. In my breath. In the song. Not in death. [Final Chorus — choir layered / cathartic] I am the war, I am the storm, I am the silence before it forms. I am the rage underneath the sea, But the storm obeys me. All I wanted was peace, But peace is not defeat. I don’t kneel, I don’t break, I don’t bleed for the weak. I am the war, I am the storm, I am the dark where the light is born. I could burn down everything I see, But the storm obeys me. [Outro — whispered] I notice everything. I hear everything. I know before it’s spoken. And still, the storm obeys me.
