The Story Behind This Song

What life?! I'm in the dark here. Screaming at a sky that won't answer me back.

This isn't the song after the storm. This is the song IN the storm. When the silence someone left in your chest is louder than thunder. When you cry in places no one can hear. When even your shadow won't come near. Grief in the canyon where your voice should be — and you're begging God to crack this sky open before you break.

Don't let me drown in the quiet. Don't let me die in the silence. Give me one sign. One break in the dark.

And then the shift — I'll break the curse myself. I'll tear the silence wide with my name. I'll crack it with the fire burning in my bones. I'm calling down lightning and throwing this curse back at its author.

This song will rip your heart out. And then it'll put it back stronger.

Lyrics

Life?!
What life!
I'm in the dark here
Screamin' at a sky that won't answer me back

Silence is a storm over desert bones
Rain in the desert, nothing grows
Your silence hits harder than anyone knows

Grief in the canyon where my voice should be
Thunder is kinder than what you left in me

This silence is heavy
This storm is ready

Crack the sky — let me breathe again
Crack the sky — this silence is a hurricane
Crack the sky
Crack the sky
Crack the sky
Crack the sky — before I break again

I cry in the places no one can hear
Even my shadow won't come near

This heart is breaking
This ground is shaking

Don't let me drown in the quiet
Don't let me die in the silence

What life?!
I'm in the dark here
Screamin' at a sky that won't answer me back
I'm callin' down fire
On the silence you left in my chest

I'll break the curse myself
I'll tear the silence wide with my name
I'll crack it with the fire burnin' in my bones
I'll call down the lightning and the thunder
I'm throwin' this curse back at its author
Crack the sky

Crack the sky — let me breathe again
Crack the sky — this silence is a hurricane
Crack the sky
Crack the sky
Crack the sky
Crack the sky — before I break again

Give me one sign
One break in the dark

Crack the sky — let me breathe again
Crack the sky — this silence is a hurricane
Crack the sky
Crack the sky
Crack the sky
Crack the sky — let me breathe again
