[Verse]
For so long, chaos was all you knew
And troubled thoughts, they only grew and grew
Until a web of lies was weaved

[Bridge]
But how long can it really last?
Steering blindfolded and oh so fast

[Chorus]
The calm after the storm is a strange, strange place, I warn you
When the coup de grace sets you free
Catch yourself daydreaming about violence
'Cause you're not used to the silence of camaraderie

[Verse]
Balanced on the edge of a crumbling wall
What a sad excuse to make yourself look tall
Showing off your bruised-up knees

[Bridge]
There's no one left for you to impress
That crowd below you couldn't care less

[Chorus]
The calm after the storm is a strange, strange place, I warn you
When the coup de grace sets you free
Catch yourself daydreaming about violence
'Cause you're not used to the silence of camaraderie
[Verse]
Surprised how quickly things can change
Deranged to quiet and back again
When will the madness end?

[Bridge]
You wake up from a jolt of fear
Feels like you've been sleeping for a hundred years

[Chorus]
The calm after the storm is a strange, strange place, I warn you
When the coup de grace sets you free
Catch yourself daydreaming about violence
'Cause you're not used to the silence of camaraderie
