Bedroom Eyes – Carrying The Storm lyrics

You turned pale when your heart broke
The blood came streaming from your nose
Dripping a trace upon the curb
Back to a place you once called home
Four walls echo "you're alone"
And fill the gaps between your nerves
With solid emptiness and dissonant tones

You spent your childhood in the snow
And your teens out in the cold
But it's hard to keep warm
When you are carrying the storm

Arms outstretched to gain control
While you are tumbling down a hole
Moving much too fast to grip these jagged, wet and black walls
So, you reach the bottom of the pit
Cut and bruised up by the hit
A strange, familiar feel from previous falls
Oh, you have been down here before
You see your past skins on the floor
There's a way up if you try to recall

You spent your childhood in the snow
And your teens out in the cold
But it's hard to keep warm
When you are carrying the storm

Breathing fresh air back upon the ground
Those blood drops, dried and brown
In zigzag lines across this town
Are a map to former friends who let you down
Yet you still feel confined, well then maybe it's time
You put your streets in line to be left behind

To spend your childhood in the snow
And your teens out in the cold
Doesn't mean you can keep warm
If you are carrying the storm
