lyrics

HURRICANE
(Patrick Rydman)

It’s a secret portal,
the passage to my pain
Showing me I’m mortal,
blood coursing through my veins

I can open it when I’m all numb, closed off to myself
like a well stocked cupboard,
there’s stuff on every shelf

So I pick a memory,
a feeling I once had
And it comes alive in me,
I’m happy, I am sad

Tears and laughter making way, dancing in my chest
They were never far away,
they only took some rest

And if I think I’m dying,
then dying is the way
The gates are wide open,
the flood will wash
each growing crack away
Buckle up and let in the hurricane

See the cars are flying,
like toys, they look so small
And the houses that I built,
they groan before they fall

All of my belongings
scattered everywhere
Everything I thought I was,
I no longer care

And if I think I’m dying,
then dying is the way
The gates are wide open,
the flood will wash each
crumbling schack away
Buckle up and let in the hurricane

The view is getting clearer
as the wind sets in
Disaster drawing nearer,
there’s no way I can win

It’s a secret portal,
but I can walk right through
No more expectations,
there’s nothing I must do

I’m just a lonely orphan
on a lonely road
The little bag I carry
still packs a heavy load

And if I think I’m dying,
then dying is the way
The gates are wide open,
the flood will wash each
winding track away
And if I think I’m dying,
then dying is the way
The gates are wide open,
the flood will wash me clean
and it’s ok
Buckle up and let in the hurricane
