[Verse 1]

Well, there's thunder all round me from the moment I awake

A voice inside my head asks how much more I can take

But I won't let it beat me 'cause now I'm in control

So make you're not around me, once it finally takes its toll

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Once it finally takes its toll

[Chorus]

'Cause it's the calm before the storm

And it's your last gasp of air right before you hit the floor

And it's your last escape, your last way out, don't say that you weren't warned

By the calm before the storm

[Verse 2]

Every time I feel this way, I know what happens next

My blood starts to boil, I get a beating in my chest

I never really knew from where these feelings come

But I just know they're here as my body goes numb

[Pre-Chorus 2]

As my body goes numb

[Chorus]

'Cause it's the calm before the storm

And it's your last gasp of air right before you hit the floor

And it's your last escape, your last way out, don't say that you weren't warned

By the calm before the storm

[Post-Chorus]

My mind, it is racing, my heart, it is pounding

A feeling that I can't explain

My vision is blurring, my soul, it is screaming

And it's time to bring on the pain

'Cause it's the calm before the storm

[Chorus]

Ooh, 'cause it's the calm before the storm

And it's your last gasp of air right before you hit the floor

And it's your last escape, your last way out, don't say that you weren't warned

By the calm before the storm

'Cause it's the calm before the storm

[Outro]

My mind, it is racing, my heart, it is pounding

A feeling that I can't explain

My vision is blurring, my soul, it is screaming

And it's time to bring on the pain
