On nights like tonight Where the clouds kiss the Earth Painting my skin in silky sweat Smothering me Electricity bristling fine hair Whipping it around like it whips the leaves of trees The rumble-grumble of remnant thunder Bouncing off chrome castles Echoing the drums that once thrummed Under my skin It's nights like tonight... Like tonight... That I remember The tempest that once roared in my veins And the stillness left in your wake

The Stillness
On nights like tonight Where the clouds kiss the Earth Painting my skin in silky sweat Smothering me Electricity bristling fine hair Whipping it around like it whips the leaves of trees The rumble-grumble of remnant thunder Bouncing off chrome castles Echoing the drums that once thrummed Under my skin It's nights like tonight... Like tonight... That I remember The tempest that once roared in my veins And the stillness left in your wake
