The Glass Desert II - Cliffs and Stormlands lyrics

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 Uh, 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 and 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 or 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, mercy You're not learning a thing if you're running away Clear skies are waiting for you, that's not what lies ahead This is the 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 the 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 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 Oh, when you slip, yeah 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, mercy You're not learning a thing if you're running away Clear skies are waiting for you, that's not what lies ahead This is the 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 the 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, oh Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah Woah, woah You cry, Mercy, mercy, mercy from top of your lungs But the storm won't clear up till 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, there's no one near But they're not hardly a couple miles, so you must persevere Even when the sky seems like it will never clear
