Verse 1
I don’t trust quiet, it feels like a lie,
When it gets too calm I start wondering why.
I learned to breathe when the ceiling was caving,
Now stillness feels like I’m wasting.
Pre-Chorus
If chaos had a church, I’d know every prayer,
But peace feels foreign, like I don’t belong there.
Chorus
I was built for storms, not for peace,
Only feel alive when it’s breaking me.
When the skies go clear I start to freeze,
Like I don’t know who I’m meant to be.
I don’t run from pain, I don’t find release,
I was built for storms, not for peace.
Verse 2
Every good thing I treat like it’s leaving,
Every smile I hold like I’m stealing.
I sleep with one eye on the exit sign,
Even heaven don’t feel like mine.
Pre-Chorus 2
I don’t know how to set things down,
I only know how to stand my ground.
Chorus
I was built for storms, not for peace,
Trained in fire, not in relief.
If it’s not heavy I start to sink,
Like quiet is my enemy.
I don’t chase love, I don’t seek release,
I was built for storms, not for peace.
Bridge
If calm is a gift I never learned to keep,
Then teach me how to finally sleep.
Final Chorus
I was built for storms, not for peace,
But I’m tired of always bleeding me.
If there’s another way to breathe,
I’ll stay long enough to believe.
I don’t want war inside of me,
I don’t want strength that feels like grief…
I was built for storms —
But I’m learning peace.
