Private Storm

We lock the hurricane indoors

Looking for shelter we deny

And ignore

Afraid that our words bring clouds we talk in code

The thunder of cruel perfection covers love and we're cold

The private storm

And our souls are worn from the tears

The private storm

And it rages on through the years

No warning the ground pulls out from underneath

We tiptoe through air until we see the blood on

Their teeth

The private storm

And our souls are worn from the tears

The private storm

And it rages on through the years

Time doesn't heal

Scars turn into wounds

As we walk lightly

Silent screams in the storm

The private storm

And our souls are worn from the tears

The private storm

And it rages on through the years

The private storm

And our souls are worn from the tears

The private storm

And it rages on through the years
