[Verse 1] The sky is bruising, turning shades of slate A heavy ceiling falling under its own weight The world outside is screaming, trying to stay dry But I’m just standing here, staring at the sky The static in my head finally starts to clear As the first few drops wash away the fear There’s a silence in the thunder that nobody hears A liquid armor for all these wasted years. [Pre-Chorus] The clouds are closing in The air is getting thin Let the flood begin... [Chorus] I find my peace inside the grey I’m finally comfortable in this human shell today Let the deluge come and break the seal The cold is the only thing that makes me feel I’m chasing shadows through the pouring rain Drowning out the noise, numbing all the pain I’m getting soaked, I’m wide awake Chasing every dream that I’m meant to take! [Verse 2] (Drums kick in—heavy, syncopated hip-hop influenced beat) Everyone’s running, looking for a place to hide Clinging to the ego, tucked away inside But I’m shedding the layers, I’m shedding the skin This is where the ghost ends and I begin The pavement is a mirror, reflecting what I’ve lost But I’ll keep on moving, no matter what the cost Every drop’s a promise, every gust’s a sign In the heart of the storm, I’m finally doing fine. [Bridge] (Music drops to a low, distorted bass synth. Half-whispered, building to a scream) It’s not a burden! (It’s a sanctuary!) It’s not a prison! (It’s where I’m free!) I’M RUNNING THROUGH THE WATER! I’M REACHING FOR THE LIGHT! I’LL CHASE THESE DREAMS UNTIL THE END OF THE NIGHT! [Guitar Solo / Breakdown] (Heavy, distorted power chords. High-pitched, scratching turntable effects. The sound of rain intensifies.) [Chorus] I find my peace inside the grey I’m finally comfortable in this human shell today Let the deluge come and break the seal The cold is the only thing that makes me feel I’m chasing shadows through the pouring rain Drowning out the noise, numbing all the pain I’m getting soaked, I’m wide awake Chasing every dream that I’m meant to take! [Outro] (The heavy instruments cut out abruptly. Back to the clean guitar riff and the sound of rain.) Chasing my dreams... In this human shell... Finally comfortable... (Fade out with the sound of a distant thunderclap)
