Let Me Be the Storm

You think you know what silence means

You speak of light behind the scenes

But I've walked roads where stars don't burn

Where every step just twists and turns

You want to reach me, want me saved

But I'm the price that had to pay

Don't speak of bonds you've never bled

I'm still alive... but most of me is dead

Don't ask me to be whole again

I built my armor from the end

Let me be the storm, the flame, the scar

I fight alone, it's who we are

You chase the future-I guard the past

Some things aren't made to ever last

Don't try to break what's weather-worn

Just let me be the storm

I've seen the light-it never stayed

I've seen good hearts just fade away

Maria's name still cuts like steel

And you want me to let it heal?

I don't need hands-I don't need grace

I need the strength to face this place

Not every wound was meant to close

Some truths are sharp... and that's how it goes

You sing of hope-I fight with pain

We're not the same... but I remain

Let me be the storm, the shield, the fire

I burn alone, but never tire

You chase the light-I guard the edge

This war is blood, not just a pledge

Don't pull me into dreams reborn

Just let me be the storm

You see the strength-I feel the scars

I walk this path behind locked bars

You don't have to walk alone...

I'll carry weight that's mine alone

But even storms can have a dawn

Then fight beside me-but don't hold on

We rise, we burn, we break, we form

Two souls within one final storm
