stormy weather

an old soul tells lies so sweet, i choke
still I want so badly to be true

still I want so badly to be yours
but it's all ruined now
you are dead to me sweet friend
you see, it's all ruined now

shipwrecked with the intention to be found
sends me right back to where I started

mislead by my own compass
by what is north and what actually lies ahead
the wind blows east
as I continue forever upstream
stormy weather tempts my soul
backwards and upside down
until I am left washed up, face down
victim to the sun and the unforgiving sea

stripped of my pride
worn, torn, battered -
consumed but not wasted 
fed but never fully satisfied
silence leaves you hungry for more
but my soul is bursting at the seams
yes, my soul is bursting at the seams
