Lyrics

Drop

I built a tower out of every year

I built a tower just to disappear

Verse 1

Cut my hair with a kitchen knife

The mirror watched and said nothing at all

Seven versions of me in the glass

Six of them answered when I called

My mother's voice on a dying phone

Told me the river still remembers my name

I hung that promise on a nail

And watched it rust into the frame

Pre-Chorus

So carve the sky

Carve it wide

Let the cold come in and decide

Chorus

I am the storm that nobody named

I am the wound that the winter made

Bury me deep where the sirens fade

I am the storm nobody named

Drop

I am the storm that nobody named

I am the wound that the winter made

Verse 2

Sold my shadow for a pack of smokes

The dealer laughed and kept the change

Every city looks the same at 4 a.m.

Just different rooftops and the same old rain

I wrote your number on my forearm twice

Then let the ink dissolve in the bath

Some ghosts you carry like a lucky coin

Some ghosts you carry just to make you last

Pre-Chorus

So carve the sky

Carve it wide

Let the cold come in and decide

Chorus

I am the storm that nobody named

I am the wound that the winter made

Bury me deep where the sirens fade

I am the storm nobody named

Bridge

Thunder

Thunder

Call me thunder

Thunder

Nothing softer

Nothing under

Breakdown

Say it slow

Say it loud

Say it till the wires burn out

Say it low

Say it proud

I was here I was here I was here

Chorus

I am the storm that nobody named

I am the wound that the winter made

Bury me deep where the sirens fade

I am the storm nobody named

Drop

I am the storm that nobody named

I am the storm that nobody named
