OF MONSTERS AND MEN
"I Of The Storm"
(Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir / Arnar Rosenkranz Hilmarsson / Ragnar Thorhallsson)

[Verse 1: Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir]
If I could face them
If I could make amends
With all my shadows

I'd bow my head
And welcome
Them

But I feel it burning
Like when the winter wind
Stops my breathing
Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone?

I fear you won't
I fear you
Don't

[Pre-Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar Thorhallsson]
And it echoes when I breathe
Until all you see is my ghost
Empty vessel, crooked teeth
Wish you could see

[Chorus 1: Nanna]
And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me under
And I wither underneath

In this storm

[Verse 2: Nanna]
I am a stranger
I am an alien
Inside a structure
Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone?

With all my thoughts
And all my
Faults

I feel it biting
I feel it break my skin
So uninviting
Are you really gonna need me when I'm gone?

I fear you won't
I fear you don't

[Pre-Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar]
And it echoes when I breathe
Until all you see is my ghost
Empty vessel, crooked teeth
Wish you could see

[Chorus 2: Nanna]
And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me under
And I wither underneath

In this storm, I feel it

[Chorus 3: Nanna]
And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me underneath
To this storm
