[Intro: Soft acoustic guitar picking, slow tempo, like a weary sigh]
[Verse 1]
Woke up to the same old thunder, words like rain that never quits,
Pounding on my roof of doubt, twisting truths with every hit.
Echoes in the hallway shadows, promises that fade to gray,
Chasin ghosts of what was spoken, losin ground day after day.
[Chorus]
I'm bone tired of this endless storm, where lightning strikes the family tree,
Roots run deep but branches breaking, heart's a cage that won't set free.
Whispers turn to wild winds howling, leaving scars no eye can see,
Oh, I'm done with the dance of daggers, cutting loose from what binds me.
[Verse 2]
Mirror mocks with borrowed faces, echoes of the blood we share,
Poking holes in every story, leaving me to gasp for air.
Familiar fire in the hearth, but it burns without the warmth,
Spinning yarns that tangle tighter, pulling south when I head north.
[Bridge: Build with fingerstyle intensity, voice cracks on "chains"]
And the clock ticks like a heartbeat, pounding out the years we've lost,
Silent screams in crowded rooms, paying love's unspoken cost.
Clever knots in every sentence, untying em just wears me thin,
Gotta find my way to sunrise, where the mending can begin.
[Chorus Variation]
I'm bone tired of this endless storm, where lightning strikes the family tree,
Roots run deep but branches breaking, heart's a cage now setting free.
Whispers turn to wild winds howling, but I'm walking through the debris,
Oh, I'm done with the dance of daggers, rebuilding what was meant to be.
[Outro: Fade with gentle strums, resolve on a minor chord]
Woke up to a quieter morning, words like rain that finally quit...
[Accapella solo]
