Lyrics

[Intro - Synth, Atmospheric]

[Verse 1 - 7/8 feel, Sparse]
Sealed in glass, the water waits
Crystal needles slowly turning
Pressure falling past the gates
Something in the dark is learning
I was built to read the sky
Never made to feel it burning

[Pre-Chorus - Build]
But the mercury keeps dropping
And the needle's spinning round
There's a season in me forming
Without a sound

[Chorus - Full Band, Heavy]
There's weather on the inside
Thunder in the blood
Forty days of gray tide
Forty nights of flood
And the still water remembers
Every storm it's ever known
The glass can only measure
What the sky has always shown

[Instrumental Interlude - Guitar and Synth Trade, Odd Time]

[Verse 2]
Sunlight is a rumor here
Filtered through the years of raining
Every cloud I've held too near
Left its silver slowly staining
But the flood that filled the lowlands
Carved the canyon out of stone
What the storm takes in its passing
Leaves a deeper bed below

[Chorus - Full Band, Heavy]
There's weather on the inside
Thunder in the blood
Forty days of gray tide
Forty nights of flood
And the still water remembers
Every storm it's ever known
The glass can only measure
What the sky has always shown

[Bridge - Quiet, Congas with Low Vocal]
Still water runs to depth, not silence
Still water holds the sky
Every cloud that ever crossed me
Sleeps somewhere down inside

[Build - Double Bass Drums, Rising Synth]
And when the pressure rises
And the crystals start to climb
I won't pray for clear horizons
I have weathered every kind

[Final Chorus - Energy: High, Key Lift]
Let the weather find the inside
Let the thunder take the blood
I have stood through gray tide
I have risen with the flood
And the still water remembers
But it doesn't hold the pain
The glass was never broken
It was only reading rain

[Outro - Instrumental, Slow Fade]
[End]
