We compare people to hurricanes and storms Acknowledging the beauty of natural force Romanticizing the unhinged power capable of breaking the backs of men But forgetting how these things end With broken homes and sarrow sunken hearts Trembling in the shock of ruin Shaking hands to pick up unmeasured damage And still we look back and put an asthetic label on your wrath little girl and admire the strength Only because we must ignore your lack of mercy For beauty is a two headed snake who will captive your gaze ; or spit poison into your eyes

We compare people to hurricanes and storms Acknowledging the beauty of natural force Romanticizing the unhinged power capable of breaking the backs of men But forgetting how these things end With broken homes and sarrow sunken hearts Trembling in the shock of ruin Shaking hands to pick up unmeasured damage And still we look back and put an asthetic label on your wrath little girl and admire the strength Only because we must ignore your lack of mercy For beauty is a two headed snake who will captive your gaze ; or spit poison into your eyes
