Howling Wind

And I'm waking up

Oh yeah I'm waking up

Oh just seconds after sunrise

With thunders on the skyline

Broken heart by the howling wind

And I try to move, yeah I try to talk

But I’m emotionless and silent

As the room begins to brighten

My fire is off and my eyes are wide

About a hour goes by and I lose track of time

I start to think about forgiveness

The falseness and indifference

And all the lies, I have ever told

How did it get so bad when did we build this scar

Between the innocence and violence

So immature and mindless

And the rest of us who just don’t act

Deep down in my chest I feel so alone

Somedays I don’t know what to believe

In a world come undone and full of halfway hopes

All I want is peace

Oh give me peace

So much has passed me by

So much gets lost in time

You know I could have been a fighter

I could have lied beside her

But not for now

I guess that’s someone else

I try to hold my nerve but it feels good to yearn

So I wish I could be ruthless as insecure and useless

Paralysed and overboard

Under the weight of truth

I feel too cold to move

I hear my mother in the kitchen

I hope she knows I'm listening

Cause all my life she has done the same

Some days I'm so off track

It seems there's no way back

But I won't let these thoughts define me

Let's blame it on the timing

And leave the past to the howling wind

Somewhere in the bed where I hide my bones

Underneath the heartache and the deceit

Suddenly it hits me I am halfway home

And all I feel is peace

Forgive me please

Forgive me please

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh Oh Oh

Somewhere in the bed where I hide my bones

Underneath the heartache and the deceit

Suddenly it hits me I am halfway home

And all I feel is peace

Forgive me please

Forgive me please
