verse 1
you only ever call me when the sky turns sick and green
static in your whisper like you’re dialing up a dream
raindrops on the window draw your name in crooked ink
you don’t want the man they know, you want the monster that you breed……
pre 1
you say “come over fast before the power lines all fall”
you’re tracing constellations in the cracks along my walls
you swear you hate the thunder but you love the way i change
you keep on praying for the storm and acting like i’m strange………
hook
’cause every time the thunder hits, i’m not myself, i’m something else
you call the storm, i lose my grip, you wear my halo while it melts
you only crave me when the sky is tearing open over town
if you want this altar version, you keep bringing weather down……
verse 2
you’re barefoot in the blackout, silhouette in lightning white
sirens in the distance, you’re the quiet in the fright
you’re kissing like a warning on the edge of breaking glass
you say you’ll fix your habits, but you’re built to chase collapse……
pre 2
you tell me “this ain’t healthy” with my hand around your throat
then ask me if i’d miss you if the siren’s all we wrote
you say you’re gonna quit me when the seasons finally shift
but you keep dancing in the doorway every time the pressure dips…….
hook
’cause every time the thunder hits, i’m not myself, i’m something else
you call the storm, i lose my grip, you wear my halo while it melts
you only crave me when the sky is tearing open over town
if you want this altar version, you keep bringing weather down……
bridge
you break the clouds on purpose just to feel me breaking too
you’d flood this whole damn county just to get your darker you
i’m tired of being weather that you summon when you’re bored
but i still feel you shiver like a prayer i can’t ignore…..
soft hook / outro
and every time the thunder hits, i swear i’m done, i never am
you call the storm, i answer it, like i’m your private talisman
if you wanna keep this altar, keep on calling down the rain………
