[Intro]
(Typhoon)
[Verse 1]
Rip the plug out the radio
Switch me off, put me under
'Til I'm sky high, give me vertigo
(Somebody) Let me know when it's over
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all these chemicals
Dancing through my veins
They don't kill the cause
They just numb the pain
I need waking up
I should face the truth
I could calm the storm
If I wanted to
[Chorus]
(Typhoon)
My thoughts becoming parasites
(Typhoon)
That live to keep me terrified
(Typhoon)
I tell myself I'll be alright
Typhoons keep on raging and I don't know why
(Typhoon)
[Verse 2]
Flashbacks, I'm not letting go
Tear me up, cast a shadow
I got game face but it's all for show
Can't give it up, blow my cover
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all these chemicals
Dancing through my veins
They don't kill the cause
They just numb the pain
I need waking up
I should face the truth
I could calm the storm
If I wanted to
[Chorus]
(Typhoon)
My thoughts becoming parasites
(Typhoon)
That live to keep me terrified
(Typhoon)
I tell myself I'll be alright
Typhoons keep on raging and I don't know why
(Typhoon)
Dark memories like lightning strike
(Typhoon)
Shake and sway me through the night
(Typhoon)
Raging on behind my eyes
I'm doomed and I'm waiting for light in my sky
Typhoons keep on raging and I don't know why
[Bridge]
(Typhoon)
(Typhoon)
(Typhoon)
(Typhoon)
My thoughts becoming parasites
That live to keep me terrified
I tell myself I'll be alright
Typhoons keep on raging and I don't know why
[Chorus]
(Typhoon)
Dark memories like lightning strike
(Typhoon)
Shake and sway me through the night
(Typhoon)
Raging on behind my eyes
I'm doomed and I'm waiting for light in my sky
Typhoons keep on raging and I don't know why
(Typhoon)
(Typhoon)
(Typhoon)

“Typhoons” is what it sounds like to be truly lost in your own thoughts to a hellish extent but also about how dark spells, much like storms are not permanent. This song was one those special moments where the process didn’t resemble writing whatsoever. More like being tethered to the earth, receivi...
