Insomnia

I knew it shall come
And find all who cower
Many try to run
But the thunder's more power

Myself in the corner
My ears dead, bled and rung
The forecast forespoken
And the lightning shall come

No time my life on the line
Reaching down to helms on deep
Pray to God through all the rain
But the signal can't hold my keep

I feel the Lightning
Edging Closer
As my legs slam down to the ground

I look for Shelter
In the City
And through the pouring rain I see

I
Run
To the first bar open
On the hell of 42nd street

Back
Soaked
I can't get no peace
Start to down some airport Hennessy

And through the window see

The rains been falling at a steady rate
And my mind's been running all over the place
I know this bar isn't really first rate
But I don't know another place open this late

The dancefloors full like it was before
Alcoholics wasted passed on the floor
People still streaming in through the door
And they're short-staffed, like the night before

He tried to sit through it
Drinking as he did
But it would only brew stronger
And disregard how he lived

It was the consequence
Of the years spent prior
Leaving demons unchecked
Growing them dire

Ye-ah shot down too much to drink
I can't even sit down, and even fucking think about it
Wo-ah can't tell why I'm here
This joint be looking like it was left to the years

I see the lightning
Growing larger
As the strikes start to shake up the ground

Off in the distance
I can see it
A twister's up starting to brew

I
Run
To the unkept bathroom
To keep my vomit company

Glass
Breaks
Everything's in smoke
And it sounding like a freight train now
Thought I heard it singing

The rains been falling at a steady rate
And my mind's been running all over the place
I know this bar isn't really first rate
But I don't know another place open this late

The dancefloors full like it was before
Alcoholics wasted passed on the floor
People still streaming in through the door
And they're short-staffed, like the night before

He lie in regret and anger
For he now knew the destruction that ensued was
His fault

Yes, that's right

He saw the storm brewing
He saw the lightning approaching
He felt the ground shaking
And he heard the thunder growing

And yet he did not act
He thought that if it was so far off
Why even think about it?
If it is not currently harming him, why act upon it?

The man never got a chance to learn from his mistakes.
For his mistakes
Consumed him

I saw the storm brewing
I saw the lightning approaching
I felt the ground shaking
And yet I stood there and did nothing at all

I felt the sound close in
I heard the thunder growing
I saw the rain coming
And yet I stood there and did nothing at all

I saw the storm brewing
I saw the lightning approaching
I felt the ground shaking
And yet I stood there and did nothing at all

I felt the sound close in
I heard the thunder growing
I saw the rain coming
And yet I stood there and did nothing at all

Storm Brewing (The rain's been falling at a steady rate)
I saw it, I saw it coming from miles away (And yeah my minds been running all over the Place)
(I know this bar isn't really first rate)
Yet I stood there and did nothing at all (But I don't know another place open this late)
Sound Closin' (The dancefloors full like it was before)
Saw the thunder growing (Alcoholics wasted passed out on the floor)
Saw the rain pouring down in the distance (People still streaming in through the door)
Yet I stood there doing nothing at all (But they're short staffed like the night before)
