[Verse 1] It's raining frothing packs of rabid cats and dogs, gnawing, clawing, scratching Falling too fast to catch em all in all appalling Thought, a gaseous fog forming blasting fog horn warning Morning meets the swarm before the captain saw it all upon him Recorded captain log tore the craft to boards Bordered by disordered oars shortened roars Flashing, crashing waves, blackish grey, this ain't his grave, anchor wade to shore Fragile clay embrace its form, agile wave is grace, the storm... This anger aggravates the stranger, danger grabs at the waist stronger The harder he hates, this oughta be watery, just waits longer When all that she takes, is all released, his palms reach to calm her Soft beach breathing flotsam, lost screams beneath the water [Refrain] When the brainstorm poured him over board, he swore at that fate It just made more torrent torment for him, and fortune wore at his faith The rain pouring was the warning flash, clashing wrath at black waves Sure he saw the shore through the storm but didn't make it half way [Verse 2] The lightning flashed the mast, ash and cinders, whizzing rapid splinters Into the wintered tips of icy grey, a likely grave, she whispers He shivers at the frightening face of mother thunder summoned hither Come to get her best of deafened shriek weakened to tweeking dumned whimper Another flash of bolted glitter, different side, the same inner Reminds him pride don't float, quote, a sore sight for eyes of swimmers An itch inside for every hint of pride, another inch to swim up Heard the thunder just once beneath the purple surface his tips touched An influx of rushing hints, thin lungs Brushed against his chunking sunken ship of pride, chips that didn't splint much This time he felt the thunder rumbling, chuckle bloaw, now you feeling me Pride taste like salt water? But can't talk, awe, humility? Who willingly changes himself saves himself, it ain't the they that they's for Saved grace in through pouring rain, came vain to tame the brainstorm Warned again and again and again, it ain't the they that blames for It's made for me, myself and I, so blinding rays can break forth We made war upon the sky, why I ain't surprised it stays warped Entered the center I in pride, that my mind can pay for Crashing waves clapping, laughing at the late great captain Hate, vain, gagging, gasping, grasping at the rain to catch it, had it Couldn't hold it if he had it clasped, with that attitude fashioned Squeezed the soap too tight and mad, had to imagine that it'd happen An addict to his actions, captain loved his life and lost it mainly For fighting against those waves that could've brought him into safety [Refrain]
