Question:It's 2 in the afternoon
But it feels like 2 in the morning
Cause the atmosphere is so dark
And inside it's storming

Words and fists are flying
The little girl runs for cover
She makes it to the basement
Just as a lamp is broken

She barely survived this storm
Nearly 20 years ago
She was where her daughter is now
When her dad almost killed her

Now it's 2 in the afternoon
But it feels like 2 in the morning
Cause the atmosphere is so dark
And inside it's storming

She's thinking about this cycle
When she turns to see her girl crying
Her daughter's holding a gun, while
Her husband's on the floor dying

It's only 2 in the afternoon
But it feels like 2 in the morning
Cause the atmosphere is so dark
And inside it's storming

The screaming doesn't seem to stop
The she realizes it's the sirens
Everything seems to be a blur
She just now realizes she's bleeding

She sits down to pray that this cycle will end.
It's finally the calm after the storm.
