lyrics

Once I was a hurricane
I owned the wind, I owned the rain
Drowned the sun and sky for days
Oh once I was a hurricane

Once I was a rattlesnake
Leave me be, just walk away
I was full of pain, I shook with rage
Oh once I was a rattlesnake

Once I was a house on fire
I burned down walls with my desire
Tore down the roof to see the sky
Oh once I was a house on fire

I am just a man these days
My stories all are caught and tamed
There is no cause to be afraid
Oh I am just a man these days
There is no cause to be afraid
Oh I am just a man these days
