My Thunder

 You’ve never, you’ve never
Heard my thunder
Until yesterday, and yesterday was far too late
I cried and tried to pound my fists
Upon your back in a storm of rage
And you never said anything, neither did I
Do you hear the drums now
So loud, so loud and all around
I swear you have to hear them now

You’ve never, you’ve never
Heard my thunder
Until yesterday, and yesterday was far too late
I opened my hands and tried to open yours
Put them together, mixing veins and lines
And you never looked in to my eyes, while I stared into yours
Do you see the water now
So hard, so hard falling all around
I need to know that you see it now

You’ve never, you’ve never
Heard my thunder
Until yesterday, and yesterday was far too late
I whispered through your silent screaming
Into your ears, and I gave you all my past, my sins
Do you hear me now
Shouting and singing with all my might
So many words, those words piercing the night
I have to know that you’ve caught my words

You’ve never, you’ve never
Heard my thunder
Until yesterday, and yesterday was far too late
I stomp my feet in the cold
Upon this floor where we both can’t stand now
And you beg of me, won’t you come and don’t say a word
Do you speak from pain or from love
So much pain, as you say you’re more alive
I am too hurt to see your new truth
Because
You’ve never, you’ve never
Heard my thunder
Until yesterday, and yesterday was far too late
