- The Tempest LyricsSaw you the other day looking so undermined
Acting like it wouldn't happen
Making sense of anything that you could find
Because it's just about to happen and you'll be there
You must've known the storm was coming
When the clouds appeared
May as well let the rain come down
And join the circus of people
While you're there
Something is changing, bruising and taking
And I'm trying to find out what it is
When I fix her, she's breaking, reason keeps escaping me
We're protecting and burning like a cyst
I know that I can help you, I just don't f*cking want to
And the feeling is stronger by the day
Say that I'm selfish but I know you need me
Said I'm just so sick of the chase
While you are letting your guard down
I will be letting myself go
While you keep running your ship aground
I will be setting myself alight
Too late you dropped the drawbridge, you let the vampires in
You caused the shit to happen and now you want out
Too late you dropped the drawbridge, you let the vampires in
I hope you know now that it's nobody's fault but yours
While you are letting your guard down
I will be letting myself go
While you keep running your ship aground
I will be setting myself alight
Acting like it wouldn't happen
Making sense of anything that you could find
Because it's just about to happen and you'll be there
You must've known the storm was coming
When the clouds appeared
May as well let the rain come down
And join the circus of people
While you're there
Something is changing, bruising and taking
And I'm trying to find out what it is
When I fix her, she's breaking, reason keeps escaping me
We're protecting and burning like a cyst
I know that I can help you, I just don't f*cking want to
And the feeling is stronger by the day
Said I'm just so sick of the chase
While you are letting your guard down
I will be letting myself go
While you keep running your ship aground
I will be setting myself alight
Too late you dropped the drawbridge, you let the vampires in
You caused the shit to happen and now you want out
Too late you dropped the drawbridge, you let the vampires in
I hope you know now that it's nobody's fault but yours
While you are letting your guard down
I will be letting myself go
While you keep running your ship aground
I will be setting myself alight
