Ode To The Storm

You bruised my lips in the midst of a thunderstorm
Purple down my neck 'cause you loved my metaphors
You brought me your life when you needed your own
'Cause time after time you chose me as your home
I'll give you love with everything that I have
Break all my bones just to have you on my back
I'll breathe through your lungs and give you my eyes
So you won't be afraid that I'm feeding you lies

I didn't know I'd been holding my breath
'Til you showed me how to breathe in your air
I'll set things aside to hold you in bed
Sing me your ode to sleep in the stead of the bitter storm
In the mirror torn
My love

I'll sew you up with a string that holds my heart that I've kept just for you
Unknown to its part
But don't worry, I won't fall to pieces without it
'Cause we can fight without you having to shout and
You build my trust up like clouds in a storm and
You bring me these colors that I can't ignore
I've been falling without any way to slow down, with my sky void of stars
Six feet under the ground

I didn't know I'd been holding my breath
'Til you showed me how to breathe in your air
I'll set things aside to hold you in bed
And mark the day I give you my last name instead
Forever's a time that I wanna spend with you
Each life that I live will be worth seeing through
I'll give you my all
My broken parts too
So please, sing me your ode to sleep
In the stead of the bitter storm in the mirror, torn
My love
