On Friday night we were in the middle of Atlanta, GA when a tornado unexpectedly struck the city. We were at our hotel laying in our beds, and suddenly the wind picked up and the rain started pelting the walls and roof. From our 8th floor window, we looked out over the cityscape and all we could see was debris swirling and filling the skies, like some type of beautifully horrific snow globe. Then we wrote this song.

(I Lie) Awake

Wretched pieces of me lie awake
On my pillow of scars
Broken promises and pretty face
My ceiling made of stars

The walls descend into the angry waves
The sheet lifts up into the night
A thousand reasons why I'm not afraid
Debris of heaven fills the sky

I lie awake, I lie awake (rpt)

Ripped from my place in myself
Into the tunnel of light
Vortex of beauty and dark
Somewhere between earth and sky

I lie awake, I lie awake (rpt)

A thousands strangers look up
Into the night, in the sky
I drift into the ether
My thousand pieces collide

I lie awake, I lie awake
