I stared into the fury
And I fell down, I failed to cut its neck
And I fell down, I failed to cut its neck
We flew over the cascades
There was no telling when the storm would find its way
Even after hours of waiting
We flew over the cascades
So I followed it in, it was too late to retreat
And bit my neck and said it'd be okay
And I can't look back now 'cause the beast has come clean
And even though New England intrigued us, thrilled us
I saw a dim light in the mouth of the beast
Our bones were cold as stick and stones
I crossed some standard state lines
It swallowed me whole and my flesh became meat
Were no longer wrapped in tepid shades of red
I finally found myself so far away from home
And the beauty of its overwhelming strength
Everything was blown so far away
The winds were like a beast with wings and yes
The winds were like a beast with wings and yes
Just to find ourselves in storms we've never known
Everything was blown so far away
The lands we tried to memorize
And through the night the storm held me down
