In my dreams
All I see is debris
caused by my biggest vice
My self destructive ways
A funnel cloud, a tornado
Does the tornado represent me?
Everything is in shambles
Everything except me.

Everyone was dying
My favorite tree was ripped away
Does this mean someone I love
will be viciously ripped away?
Everyone was dying except me.

I heard the storm rumble and swirl
I wish there was something
I could've done, I was so helpless
As, I watched all alone.
My life was so full
then it was gone.
Everything was gone but me.
