Been working on this for awhile, and I finally think its finished. Tell me what you think. Parenthesis are back-up singer lyrics. If you've heard the song Play Crack The Sky by Brand New, thats the style it'll be sung and played.
The song is filled with metaphors. I got my inspiration from basically just going through it, and wanting to write a song about the sea that has metaphors towards a breaking relationship. You can do so much with metaphors about the sea and I love it, you can tell your whole story without even saying a word about it and people will get it and relate and say "God, I've been there."
I got a lot of inspiration from these songs too,
Brand New - Play Crack The Sky (Definitely my main source of it.)
Thrice - Red Sky
Blue October - Into The Ocean
Chevelle - Saferwaters

The Storm:
The storms rolling in, can you hear the thunder off in the distance?
Watch as the clouds start to move in
Can you feel the rain as it starts to fall down your face?
We thought it'd slow down
But it's gotten rougher now
It's not gonna settle, and it's not gonna stop
If I could, I'd signal we need help
(For somebody to save us)
I'd do anything to stop the rain
Caught in the middle of the storm
Watching as the waves begin to form
(Like a ship caught in the storm)
(You're tearing me apart)
And everything that you said
Keeps on echoing in my head
The waves start pounding, can you feel the ship not give any resistance?
Hundred foot walls rising from the surface of the sea
Working with the storm to try and sink our ship
Watch as it connects with the sky
And crashes down to try and tear us apart
You do the same with your eyes
If I could, I'd signal we need help
(For somebody to save us)
I'd do anything to stop the rain
Caught in the middle of the storm
Watching as the waves begin to form
(Like a ship caught in the storm)
(You're tearing me apart)
And everything that you said
Keeps on echoing in my head
Everything that you said
Keeps on echoing in my head
(After tonight, we'll be dead)
The sea is tearing at the ship, can you see that you do it with just a glance?
Don't know how much more it can take
Can you see the light starting to dim?
And our life lines starting to thin?
As the cold water rushes in
It gets closer and closer to the end
If I could, I'd find somebody to save us
I'd do anything to stop the rain
If I could, I'd find somebody to save us
I'd do anything to stop the pain
Caught in the middle of the storm
Watching as the waves begin to form
(Like a ship caught in the storm)
(You're tearing me apart)
And everything that you said
Keeps on echoing in my head
(You're the sea)
You tear me apart
(You're killing me)
Like a ship caught in the storm
