Pained is the math of making sense
But strained is the path that never bends
Makes me wonder if I know my limit
'Cause, oh, that's a steep fall
Far enough to wonder if I'd ever hit the ground at all
Lofty are the sights we tend to set
But death in the horizon just ahead
Makes me wonder if I've reached my limit
And, oh, that's a steep fall
For long enough to wonder if I'd ever hit the ground at all
Deep is the abyss beneath me
And stormy are the skies as far as eyes can see
If I had a limit, I've surely breached it
Now, I'm in a freefall
For long enough to wonder if I'd ever reach the ground at all
Listen for the crash, then give us a call
You got some dark clouds creeping in
Heavy pressure's really got you in a spin
So, get up and move before real devastation
Digs you deeper than you've ever been
But no foresight could fashion
A defense from storms that just won't wait
For you to get things straight
There's no hideaway, no barricade
That's gonna keep you safe
Pick it up, 'cause you're out of time
Lightning struck before you could hide
You can feel your lungs start to cook
Burnt so bad you don't want to look
"One thing at a time, please
Maybe mercy? Mercy, firstly?"
You're not learning a thing, if you're running away
Clear skies aren't waiting for you
That's not what lies ahead
This is a wicked tempest
And now you're in the thick of it
No time is left for hoping
No time to throw a fit
This is a wicked tempest
Best that you don't resist
So, if you believe in something
It better be yourself
Power can rise in panic
As long as you rise from where you fell
Splitting the storm clouds as you stand
You've got that thin skin fracturing
In a struggle that you fear you'll never win
You gotta find the grit
'Cause heavy weather really pulls you in
When you slip
Pick it up, 'cause life's on the line
Lightning struck before you could hide
You can feel your mind start to melt
Can't believe the hand you've been dealt
"One thing at a time, please
Maybe mercy? Mercy, firstly?"
You're not learning a thing if you're running away
Clear skies aren't waiting for you
That's not what's up ahead
This is a wicked tempest
And now you're in the thick of it
No time is left for hoping
No time to throw a fit
This is a wicked tempest
Best that you don't resist
So, if you believe in something
It better be yourself
Power can rise in panic
As long as you rise from where you fell
Splitting the storm clouds as you stand
You cry "mercy, mercy, mercy!" from the top of your lungs
But the storm won't clear up until the damage is done
You try the bright side, but you're coming up with none
'Cause there's no use in counting blessings when there's war to be won
You cry "mercy, mercy, mercy!" like there's someone near
But they're not around for miles, so you must persevere
Even when the sky seems like it will never clear
