Standing in the Center of the Storm

The vastness of the ocean
A darkness in the sky
A lifetime of emotion
How hard you’ve had to try
To navigate the currents
And the demons in the deep
You have to stay awake
’Cuz they might take you in your sleep

You wish that you could tame them
God knows how hard you’ve tried
But the demons that surround you
Are coming from inside

Waking up this morning
To the voices in your head
The winds had started whipping
Flags were flying black and red
Riding out the hurricane
Was more than you could stand
You hear about a safer port
Made of someone else’s sand

The promise of a harbor
And a land that feels so free
A shelter where you’ll never have to think
About the sea
About the sea

You think the place you’ve landed
Will keep you safe and warm
But you’re just standing in the center of the storm

So you’ve disavowed the ocean
And stopped looking at the stars
Wrote yourself a different tale
And forgotten who you are

But you can’t hide here forever
And I’m afraid what you might do
As all your demons rise again
When the eye wall passes through
When the eye wall passes through

You pray the quiet comfort
Means you’ve truly been reborn
But you’re just standing in the center of the storm

Great to hear so many elements in this album - wonderful layering throughout, and the electric guitar in this track is so perfectly placed.

Great track! Love the full instrumentation. You should open up your singing like this more often.

Just giving this track a little love - Andy and Liam pretty much crush it on this track.
