Storm Clouds

Black clouds hang over you
Like anvils on a string
They follow you everywhere so
Don't stand so close to me

They gather while you're sleeping
And wait above your bed
And when you open up your eyes
They strap themselves fast to your head

Dreamed through another starless night
Awakened by the gloom this morning
I keep myself buttoned tight
These storms come without warning
There seems to be no end in sight
This shit could last forever
I've been through this before
There's no predicting weather you

Will find your way around
Whatever's got you down
Whatever's got you down

The lines across your brow
Tell me the entire story
I won't be listening
While you go on about your fears and worries

Dreamed through another starless night
Awakened by the gloom this morning
I keep myself buttoned tight
These storms come without warning
There seems to be no end in sight
This shit could last forever
I've been through this before
There's no predicting weather you

Will find your way around
Whatever's got you down
Whatever's got you down

You blow into the room
I pour myself some shelter
I know the storm is coming soon
I'm sensitive to changes in pressure

I spent another sleepless night
On your couch tossing and turning
Sometimes I don't know why I try
I think my neck is broken

There seems to be no end in sight
This shit could last forever
I've been through this before
There's no predicting weather you

Will find your way around
Whatever's got you down
Whatever's got you down
Can you find your way around
Whatever's got you down
You're bringing us all down
