Name: Breathe the Storm
Duration: P00H03M56S
Description: This is a song I wrote when I was very homesick. There's a line that says, "I'm used to having light rain, but I want that monsoon." Missing the desert has never occurred to me until this year, so I wrote a song dedicated to how I can thrive in a different city other than my hometown. I want to breathe the storm.

about

This is a song I wrote when I was very homesick. There's a line that says, "I'm used to having light rain, but I want that monsoon." Missing the desert has never occurred to me until this year, so I wrote a song dedicated to how I can thrive in a different city other than my hometown. I want to breathe the storm.

lyrics

Verse 1:
I'm used to having light rain,
but I want that monsoon.
I want to make an impact on the world.
Awaken the nation, I won't settle.
I want to pour my soul
out onto the timid ground.

Chorus:
I crave to amplify the sound
that is beating from my chest.
I hope to electrify the glow
from my fingertips.
I don't want to stray away from the storm,
I want to breath it.

Verse 2:
Never been a painter,
but I can paint the sky.
Water colored sunsets in my mind.
Always been a creator.
Writing tales as a child
about the other sides of life.

(Chorus)

Bridge:
In the middle of the night,
these words are not sacred.
Promises leave this embrace,
and I am left to dance alone.
Arms carry luggage and bury regrets
with a rusted shovel digging for answers left.

(Chorus)
