Lyrics

I'm bound up and broken,

I feel restrained and damaged.

caught out in the open,

I am exposed and vulnerable.

tape over my mouth,

I am silenced, unable to express myself.

with so much left unsaid.

There are things I haven't communicated.


Like gathering thunder,

Our communication is turbulent like an approaching storm.

we spoke over each other,

We talk over each other, becoming strangers.

now strangers tied to opposite sides of the bed.

We are emotionally distant, tied but apart.


You say that I'm careless,

You perceive me as indifferent and defensive.

unkind and defensive,

I desire closeness, not to be seen as callous.

when all I want is someone there to hold me close.

I long for someone to comfort me.


I don't mean to be heartless,

I don't intend to be cold-hearted.

I'm trying my hardest to think before I speak, but I'm voiceless

I struggle to think before speaking, feeling voiceless.


I'll bide my time, watch the hurricane blow by

I'll wait patiently for the storm to pass.

and the clouds run dry.

And for the emotional turmoil to settle.

I'll bite my tongue,

I'll endure in silence.

and hold on 'til my hands go numb

I'll persist until I can't feel anymore.

or the quiet comes.

Or until peace finally arrives.


Soaked through to my skin

I'm soaked, but the experience hasn't changed me.

but I don't feel any different.

I'm filled with uncertainty and impulsiveness.

I'm a shivering mess of doubt and recklessness.

A mix of doubt and recklessness consumes me.


I know it's my fault

I acknowledge my responsibility for being isolated.

I'm stuck out here in the cold

It's challenging to let go of unspoken desires.

but it's hard letting go of what I wish you'd said

I struggle with the absence of your affirmations.


cause you told me I'm careless, unkind and defensive,

You label me as thoughtless, unkind, and defensive.

when all I want is someone there to hold me close.

I yearn for someone to provide comfort.


I'll bide my time, watch the hurricane blow by

I'll patiently wait for the storm to pass.

and the clouds run dry.

And for clarity to emerge from emotional chaos.

I'll bite my tongue,

I'll endure in silence.

and hold on 'til my hands go numb

I'll persist until I can't feel anymore.

or the quiet comes.

Or until peace finally arrives.


Don't tell me I'm broken, as I'm blowing out to sea.

Don't tell me I'm damaged as I drift away.

Don't leave me high and dry.

Don't abandon me in a difficult situation.

It's swirling over me, as I spin in slow motion

Emotions engulf me as I move slowly.

a tide of chattering teeth.

Anxiety manifests as chattering teeth.

Unravel and unwind.

I unravel and release tension.


White-knuckled, nails torn from grasping the boards as the storm rages inside of me.

I hold on tightly, enduring internal turmoil.


Opened my mouth, tried to force something out, but I'm just too exhausted to speak.

I attempt to speak but am too exhausted to do so.


I'll bide my time, watch the hurricane blow by

I'll patiently wait for the storm to pass.

and the clouds run dry.

And for the emotional turmoil to settle.

I'll bite my tongue,

I'll endure in silence.

and hold on 'til my hands go numb

I'll persist until I can't feel anymore.

or the quiet comes.

Or until peace finally arrives.


I'll bide my time, watch the hurricane blow by

I'll patiently wait for the storm to pass.

and the clouds run dry.

And for clarity to emerge from emotional chaos.

I'll bite my tongue,

I'll endure in silence.

and hold on 'til my hands go numb

I'll persist until I can't feel anymore.

or the quiet comes.

Or until peace finally arrives.
