BITTER STORM
Lyrics by Peter Merz and Timmy Chandler
Music by Peter Merz
INTRO:
The anger has faded, I tell myself;
But it hasn't died, I know.
Glancing out this window
Eyes closed tight
Hatred burns like brimstone
I try to shut my mind
I hold back the words clawing at me
I dare not give them life
Fallen thoughts keep calling to me
And theres no way to flee
CHORUS
In this Bitter Storm
Memories become a prison
I cant escape
Im chained to this hate
In this Bitter Storm
Its a hate-filled kingdom
I cant escape
Its way too late
Unbending and un-friending
Im lost in this Bitter Storm
This Bitter Storm
These hot and angry tears fill my eyes
Theres no disguise
While concealed and harbored fears
Silence the words I should cry
Rebellion disables my witness
What I want to say, what I should show
Just like salt on a tiny cut
Im churning head to toe
REPEAT CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL SOLO
BRIDGE
Could I find the heart to forgive?
And break the chains holding me tight?
Could I leave behind this bitterness?
And heal this pain of this long cold night
REPEAT CHORUS
