Dmitry Vibe - Calm Before Lyrics

[Intro]
Holy water dripping down my face
Memories I can't seem to erase
Silent like the saints up in this place
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Submerged in waters cold as Russian nights
Father's eyes, they never showed the fight
Old soul trapped in a young mind
Generational pain, yeah, we keep it inside
Learned to float before I learned to cry
Mama said the priest would make it right
But these demons swimming deep inside
Got me feeling like I'm baptized in lies

[Chorus]
Calm before the storm hits (yeah)
Numb before the pain kicks (pain)
Waters rising slowly (slowly)
But I'm drowning daily (f*ck)
Old church bells keep ringing (ringing)
While my thoughts keep sinking (down)
This peace ain't what it seems like
This peace ain't what it seems like

[Verse 2]
Father never showed us how to feel
Passed down trauma that we couldn't heal
Called me wise beyond my f*cking years
But I was just too scared to let it spill
Now I'm floating in this holy stream
Trying to wash away what made me me
Silent strength that's running in my veins
Ancient stories buried in my brain

[Chorus]
Calm before the storm hits (yeah)
Numb before the pain kicks (pain)
Waters rising slowly (slowly)
But I'm drowning daily (f*ck)
Old church bells keep ringing (ringing)
While my thoughts keep sinking (down)
This peace ain't what it seems like
This peace ain't what it seems like

[Outro]
Holy water dripping down my face
But can't wash away this f*cking pain
Silent like the saints up in this place
Yeah, yeah
