The hurricane that blew last night worked wonders The house is torn, the line is cut; now we see with real eyes And talk with words that matter and I am not your shelter As the wind ripped everything I finally felt my lungs expanding Walk away from the before and into now Walk away out of the old skin when the old skin's drowned beneath the clouds Walk away when all the world has blown apart Walk away into the wet grass when the end is making new the start Are you the same after the rain? Are you stripped too? Or is your air overcome by the thought of breathing and perceiving? Is there a way to make a storm from nothing? We'd break apart the gallery and with the sky all drained you'd stare for miles I'm lying out in the rain I wait for the hurricane To wash over me ecstatic and free To help me to see what I have chosen
