[Verse 1]
I can smell this thunder coming
I can smell this rain
You’re the only one I ever knew
Whose arms could hold my flames
Without burning like them others’ burnt
You told me Hell’s to blame
I told you Hell’s a choice we make
I know Blake would tell the same, look
All deities do reside within
So how come I feel this presence above?
This love that unplugs my heart
And starts the floods again within me
Drowning out the badness that I harbour
My goodness battens down the hatches
And holds on to a partner
She’s telling me ‘Storm’s coming’
Well of course it is
It always is on nights like this
Tower blocks are murmuring
And I can sense a turning wind
And I glimpse a man who isn’t even there
And I know that glitch for all it’s worth
Because I pass out full of madness
And I wake up drenched in thirst
Like, give me whisky, give me beers to glug
Let me lose this fear
I’ll love anyone who’s near enough
To even looking a little bit like you
All I’m trying to say
Today’s like all them other days
All I’m trying to do is
Mark this down
Make this true
Make this count for something
Cause nothing is eternal
Nothing means a thing
Nobody believes
That’s why we live in all this sin
But we mistake it for normality
Even something to attain
My dissent sets me apart
But right now I smell that rain
Come to wash away these masks
The marks imbedded on our weary hearts
It's merely metaphor
But metaphor is flexing jaw though
Getting ready for the fight
He came to fight with the surface world
I lost my purpose
Hurled into the furnace
Where the burn is near celestial
Detestable outsider
Chest is full of cider, gin and lightning
My eyes will dim
But the rhymes we'll sing in times to come
Since I begun
Head’s been filled with end
We wear too many faces
But the truth will strike again
I can smell this thunder coming
I can smell this rain
You’re the only one I ever knew
Whose arms could hold my flames
Without burning like them others’ burnt
You told me Hell’s to blame
I told you Hell’s a choice we make
I know Blake would tell the same, look
All deities do reside within
So how come I feel this presence above?
This love that unplugs my heart
And starts the floods again within me
Drowning out the badness that I harbour
My goodness battens down the hatches
And holds on to a partner
