[Verse 1]
I've never really known which way I'm facing
But I feel like something's changed
There's a storm outside, my walls are ragin'
They're coming back down in the hardest way
[Chorus]
There's a rain protecting me
Rings around my father's eyes
Light above the morning sea
Into darkness, I will reach

Rings around my father's eyes
Light above the morning sea
Fill the crater into the sun
Feel the wings across your arms
Another way to lose, that's all

[Post-Chorus]
As I ride into the wind
What a restless feeling
One I've tried to hide so long
Fill the crater into the sun
To feel the wings across your arms
Cut the wing in two
[Outro]
No one really knows which way they're facing
'Til they're coming back down
