[Verse1]

My head’s been up in the clouds
That’ve been forming for a while now 
My thoughts chew me in and spit me out 
And It turns out, I’m the worst thunderstorm 

Because I’ve been so up and I’ve been so down 
But my feet have never once kept themselves on the ground 
And I tried to turn my sky around
But I’m spinning like a tornado that’ll never throw me out 

[Chorus]

I’m wrapped up and I’m stuck in my own self-doubt 
And all I want is to slow down, to just slow down
All I want is to just slow down 
But I don’t know how 
I’m waiting for the air to clear so that I can see something new 
So that I can just see something new
But I don’t know how 
I don’t know how to  

Because it’s softer on the ears than if I spit the truth that I’ve been keeping 
But that doesn’t always stop the holes in my soul from leaking through the windows 
Even when they’re closed
I don’t know, I guess I just don’t know
I just don’t know, I guess that’s all I know 
I’m a fucking tornado

[Verse 2]

My eyes are screaming sirens that no one can hear 
I blow wishes in the wind and I chant lies in silence 
Just so that I can hide my fear 
I hold it in, I hold it in the deepest part of my heart 
And it’s changing to glass 
And It’s about to shatter and break a part 
I’ve been spinning and I just want it to end 
I’ve been spinning and it feels like it’s never going to end 

[Chorus]

I’m wrapped up and I’m stuck in my own self-doubt 
And all I want is to slow down, to just slow down
All I want is to just slow down 
But I don’t know how 
I’m waiting for the air to clear so that I can see something new 
So that I can just see something new
But I don’t know how 
I don’t know how to  

Because it’s softer on the ears than if I spit the truth that I’ve been keeping 
But that doesn’t always stop the holes in my soul from leaking through the windows 
Even when they’re closed
I don’t know, I guess I just don’t know
I just don’t know, I guess that’s all I know 
I’m a fucking tornado

[Outro]

I don’t know, I don’t know
I’m a fucking tornado 
I’m a fucking tornado 
I guess that’s all I know 
I guess that’s all I know
