Diamond Tornado

You thought you wanted my love,

But you grabbed more than you can hold.

I’m the freak from your fantasies,

I’m the terror from your nightmares.

I walked through fire for your touch

Now you tell me that I’m too much.

Come to me and get scorched—

I need your heart; you need my torch.

I am the storm your heart’s summoning.

I am the charging cheetah, the soaring seagull.

I’m broken and brave, and I’m becoming

A wild horse, a roaring lion.

We’re taught to swallow stars in silence…

Fevers rise high and tempers break;

But now my heart’s the cosmos wide;

My roar is an earthquake.

You asked for my love,

But you have more than you can hold.

I’m the dream in your fevered nights,

I’m the terror you can’t control.

My scars are a map,

They lead the way into a whirlpool,

A portal – not a trap,

Where I was once a young girl too.

I am the storm your heart’s summoning.

I’m every beast you dream and dread.

I’m broken and brave, and I’m becoming

A wild horse, a roaring lion.

Climb out of your self-pity

Where your heart once drowned.

Your cup is no longer half empty,

But overflowing with overwhelm.

I’m the fire in the furnace of fear,

The echo you hush but still hear.

Tell me what’s good and what’s not,

But you’ll need my roar when things get hot.

I am the storm your heart’s summoning.

I am the charging cheetah, the soaring seagull.

I’m broken and blazing, and I’m becoming

A wildfire, a dragon’s cry.

We’re taught to keep our heads down…

Thought I’d break beneath the weight,

But this pressure made me diamond.

My cut is a tornado.

You have all my love;

But it’s wilder than you’ve ever known.

Step up and take the reins,

I’ll take you places never shown.

I’m the freak (freak) from your fantasies  (fantasies)

You don’t know what you’re summoning; 

(your heart summoned me)

I’m broken and brave (blazing) and I’m becoming

A wildfire, a dragon’s cry; (a roaring lion)

I’m the storm you’ve summoned; 

(your heart summoned me)

I’m a diamond tornado. 

(your heart summoned me)

I’m a diamond tornado.

(your diamond tornado)

Your diamond tornado.
