lyrics

The calm before the storm is just before you walk in
The moment when my weapons are all primed
Prepping for some battle I never win
Against the inside of my mind

I’ve been in a good place lately
Not that you can see or care
After all this time you showed up there
To mess with my mind to shake my core
And the armies inside start to rage again
Bring me to the brink of my civil war

And here I fight
And there I clash
The walls of dust around me burning deep to ash

And somehow I still want more
Ripped in two and so I wage this civil war

And really it’s kind of funny
The way I leap at your call
The way you say you haven’t thought of me at all
And so I smile, hide behind my charm
While my insides are sounding the alarm
The call to arms

And here I fight
And there I clash
The walls of dust around me burning deep to ash

And somehow I still want more
Ripped in two and so I wage this civil war

Jacob Shipley New York, New York

Jacob Shipley writes, sings, and tells stories about the moments in life we’d rather not repeat. Some of his music is sorrowful, some sardonic and humorous, but all of it comes from a deeply personal place that is easy to connect with because we’ve all been there. Listening to Jacob is like reminiscing with an old friend: not everything was easy, but at least we made it through. ... more
