Lyrics for Natural Disaster

I'm up in the mornin' Then back down in the evenin' It's a mystery, baby What happens in between them Say, "Don't you medicate? Just breathe or meditate" But I need somethin' faster For my before and afters My come up or come-downs from some natural disasters 'Cause prairies, they wildfire Seas hurricane The hills, they all landslide Tornados strip the plains And my whole earth quakes When I find a good thing Not sure that I deserve it Like, "How did I earn this?" I'm afraid I'll just hurt it Oh, so I burn it down And collect the insurance And document my pain Keep faces and names Remember places and dates Remember how they did me wrong Remember how they changed me And I'll take a picture A before and after Of the fault lines on my face From all my tears and my laughter The come-up or come downs from some natural disaster 'Cause the lowlands will flood The desert will dry up The hills will landslide Volcanoes will erupt And you will fall in love That love may not want you Then that love will haunt you And no, you won't die They'll just simply leave your side Disappear into the mystery Disappear into the little wide And you'll cry, cry, baby, you'll cry I'm up in the mornin' Then back down in the evenin' What happens between Is a dream Our before and afters Our tears and our laughter Songs on the Stratocaster Our prayers stuck up in the raptors Our epilogues after our chapters And our natural disaster I'm out in the flames, in the rain Come to me, baby, come to me now Come to me, baby, come to me now Come to me, baby, come to me now Come to me, baby, come to me now To me now (mhm) To me now (mhm) To me now (mhm)
