Tempest Lyrics by Deftones

The Studio Album Collection

2012

[Verse 1]
Take out the stories
They've put into your mind
And brace for the glory
As you stare into the sky
The sky beneath
I know you can't be tired

[Verse 2]
Lay there, stare at the ceiling
And switch back to your time
Just go ahead and try and taste it
I know it should be ripe

[Pre-Chorus]
Thrust
Ahead

[Chorus]
Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
The ancient arrival
Cut to the end
I'd like to be taken
Apart from the inside
Then spit through the cycle
Right to the end

[Verse 3]
I wonder just how you shaped it
To get back to your prize

[Pre-Chorus]
Thrust
Ahead

[Chorus]
Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
The ancient arrival
Cut to the end
I'd like to be taken
Apart from the inside
Then spit through the cycle
Right to the end

[Bridge]
Wake for the glory
I know you can't be tired

[Chorus]
Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
The ancient arrival
Cut to the end
I'd like you to take me
Apart from the inside
Then spit through the cycle
Right to the end

[Post-Chorus]
Inside, inside, inside
Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
(Inside, inside, inside)
I want you to take me
Apart from the inside
Right to the end
