Lyrics

The sky is twisting
And turning around
The clouds are laughing
And destroying my town
A car is flying
And twisting apart
I hear metal screaming
And breaking my heart

I've lived in this house
Since 2003
I painted those walls
I planted that tree
The garden was mine
My stories were there
Now it's nothing but litter
Tossed in the air

Tornadoes' aground
The ravaging's real
A path of destruction
That seems so surreal
Tornadoes touched down
And took from us all
A wide path of heartbreak
Debris all around
The sky is twisting
And turning around
The clouds are laughing
And destroying my town
A tree is flying
And twisting apart
I hear wood screaming
And it's breaking my heart

Tornadoes' aground

Tornadoes' aground
The ravaging's real
A path of destruction
That seems so surreal
Tornadoes touched down
And took from us all
A wide path of heartbreak
We look for our keepsakes
Debris all around
We'll rebuild our town

Tornadoes touched down
And took from us all
A wide path of heartbreak
We look for our keepsakes
Debris all around
We'll rebuild our town
