Lyrics
You and I go deep like water
You and I run red like blood
You know my darkest secrets
I know what you're made of
Drip drop the rain is falling
I hear it all could flood
One rainy night away
From losing all you love
It's a brilliant game you play
When you lock yourself away and
You make me fight for you, you, you
I can't keep you above water
I can't drag your soul to shore
Don't know how to fix a sinking ship
Or win a losing war
It's a heavy load to carry
And I can't hold on much more
On the surface, it looks perfect
Underneath, it's just a perfect storm
I've so much more to tell you
We're running out of time
It's dark and dangerous
Treading oceans in your mind
Up all night I held your hand
While you wondered in the dark
You know I can't make you better
When all you want to be is lost
I can't survive for both of us
I can't hold back the waves
This ocean isn't big enough for both of us
I'll let the water carry me away
I’ll let the water carry me down

Icon For Hire AMO VOOCÊS 💜💜
This song hits me so hard and makes me feel like crying. I was once so guilty of constantly playing the victim of my demons, constantly leaning on my friends. I just waited for others to fix me because I didn't know how to stop the pain myself. But I finally came to realize that I can't rely on others to fix me. Because they can't fix me, they don't have that ability. I needed to brave the frontlines of this war inside me myself. I needed to take charge and work towards an answer that could help me to move forward and live my life. Others could be there to support me if I faltered, but I couldn't give up the fight and sit on the sidelines while others fought my battles for me anymore. I won't deny that I'm still learning to cope with my inner demons, but I also can't deny that I've made a lot of progress. I've learned from my mistakes and I'm stronger than before, even if I don't always feel like it. Thank you, Icon For Hire, for making this song
@@hjp426 thank you, I am in a much better place now :) I wish you all the best with your fight to beat your demons and come out on top as a stronger person ❤️
I’ve been exactly where you are, and I’ve gone through a lot of tough things in my sixteen almost seventeen years. However I had to learn to stand on my own, and be who I am who without fear. This band’s music is part of what helped me find my voice, and for that I’ll always be grateful.
I completely agree with everything you say cause I've done the same, way too many times, but when 1st hearing this song, I thought of it as if she's talking to the broken part inside of herself.

Can we talk about how amazing they both look in this picture?
Sami Lopez yes we can 😂
I want Ariel's dress and hair
I think I'm dyeing my hair
Do it, I personally think dyed hair looks cool
Sami Lopez I recommend using colors from the brand argon oil, you can find it at Sally's, they last way longer than any other brand I have tried. if you aren't blonde lighten your hair first! just in case you are new to hair dye
Dear Icon For Hire,
I dint know where to begin. You are amazing. Your music is great. It is so deep. You have no idea how it has helped me and one of my friends(even though my whole small group of friends love you guys), in particular, under the knife, and happy hurts. They are my two favorite songs. You have helped me get through some really tough times. Your music is something that I love and keeps me strong. I have really wanted to say this for some time but didn't have the guts to. You save lives. I look up
To you. You deserve to be more well known. Your music is so much better and deeper than other songs on the radio. You save lives and help out a TON of people and probably help more and more everyday. I really just wanted to say thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! You guys are amazing! Keep up the good work! Even if you don't see i thought i should still post this....
Thanks again,
A loving fan and forever part of the Icon army
Seconded.
What a beautiful testimony.....
This band is just the best. I love supporting them. They make a difference for a lot of people.
Much of this is exactly how I feel about my best friend of 8 years. "You know I can't make you better, when all you want to be is lost" "It's a brilliant game you play, when you lock yourself away, and make me fight for you" ... Sadly, after a year of struggling to be there for her and constantly being hurt, lashed out at, and feeling pushed away, I had to just end our friendship. I couldn't--and can't--help someone who doesn't seem like they want help or be there for someone who doesn't seem to want me there, AND fight again my own depression and mental illnesses AND try to deal with my severely dysfunctional family.
This song hits me hard, even 6 months later, as I sometimes still feel like I abandoned her when I know she's been going through a tough time. But sometimes there's nothing more you can do for someone without completely losing (or drowning) yourself, especially when they don't seem to WANT to get better (or "Get Well"), or want any help.
I totally relate to this. Stay strong!
don't know how your situation is now as i see it's 2 years ago(hope your doing well) but you can't help anyone who doesn't move forwards them self. if you wanne help people and be a pillar for them then you yourself need to have pillars and be strong enough to be of help to them, iif you aren't then you could only make things worde by trying to. good luck
This shocked me. IT'S PERFECT STORM OMG
The thing that makes this song so amazing is that it perfectly shows the storm of addiction and relapse. It shows empathy of the addict but the pain of the one who loves them. A masterpiece
So glad they found a way to get this on the album without getting harassed by tooth and nail really loved perfect storm and I'm glad "war" made it onto the album 💙
How could anyone not like this song?! It's so amazing!! This is probably my favorite song EVER!!!!!! It's just so beautiful!!!!!!!
It's Perfect Storm!
IKR?! I thought the rights belonged to tooth and nail... and now there is an actual version of it ^^
K3ll3rmaedchen its modifyed so they wojt get copyrighted or slammed by tooth and nail hence melody change and vocal changes plusnshe has creative rights and that can be fought in court.
Huggable Luna i Know that they changed stuff, but I just was so surprised that they actually Made it on record. I wasn't prepared 😁
Yeah, she has said before that it was never meant to be a fully released song. This was a pleasant surprise. =)
Here's hoping there will be more like it!
Your music keeps me going. It keeps me afloat when I start to sink.
Never have I ever related so much to a song. This song perfectly describes the relationship I have with my best friend. I’m trying so hard to make things work, but nothing seems to be good enough. “It’s a brilliant game you play when you lock yourself away”
So happy that War is the remastered version of Perfect storm! You guys never fail to impress!
Holy shit it's perfect storm! The song she played at home on her piano that couldn't be released. But it's a little different so it's ok. I love this version but the original will always have a special place in my heart. And I'm sure when I sing along to this version I will sing the words of the original! I LOVE PERFECT STORM/WAR!!!
This made my day! This made my very bad day/few days worth it! This is everything!
I've been waiting for this song ever since she sung it on a live stream over a year ago! Beautiful song!
When I first heard I was like I know this and then it's PERFECT STORM
Wow.
I don't leave many youtube comments, but I felt the need here. Been listening to you guys since 2012 and have been a massive fan, but this might be my favorite song you guys have come up with thus far. Maybe it's because the lyrics that the lyrics hit almost uncomfortably close to home in my own predicament in life right now, but I was blown away by this, especially considering it's a bit different that the rest of what I've heard on this LP so far.
You guys are KILLING it, but this was something beyond special. Looking forward to getting my hands physically on the album!
PERFECT STORM 2.0! :D I couldn't believe my ears!
This song and Under the Knife are just SO GOOD!!!
Yes, I must admit I've been critical of Icon's new direction, but these two songs are near perfect.
holy shit, this was one of my favorite songs by them!!!! so glad they got the rights back!!!!!
I don't think they got the rights back, hence the changes in the music and title.
Well, i can say only one thing. All your lyrics are perfect. In every song. Great job, keep going!
This song makes me want to study hard for my exams,,,,,, or play more skyrim XD. Love you guys.
GothicTech SKYRIMMM devines bless youre kind heart
idk why but this is a constant mood(tm)
May the Nine bring you peace and your enemies flee before your blade.
Legion or stormcloaks? Answer wisely...
Which one did you do? Skyrim? XD
I love this song, there's so much emotion and power behind it, but I honestly think that about all the new songs. I'm so happy and proud that you guys are able to make such amazing music without the pressures and constraints of a record label. You guys have truly soared since you left your old record label, it's incredible!
I'm so glad they used this song, I saw the other version where it was Aerial demoing it for us on her piano a while back, it went by "Perfect storm" I was upset they never used the lyrics because they were so good, now they have! And it's still just as good.
One of the greatest songs I've ever heard.
Woooah I've been waiting for the studio version of Perfect Storm/War ever since I heard it in 2014! This made my day :D
This album is so raw. Your others ones are amazing, but this one you really really dug deep. Thank you guys so much for it. Your hearts are huge, and what you do is what everyone should do. I'm sure you've saved many lives, or helped ease the pain of at least a few. Thank you for everything. I have followed you for so long, and you never cease to amaze me.
Ahhh!!! I'm so excited to hear an official version of this song! I love it so much, it's probably my favorite from you guys. I'm so happy about this!
Love love loooooooooove 😍 Ariel sang part of this acoustically like two years ago (when everyone was calling it Perfect Storm) and I have been WAITING for it to make it on an album! SO excited it made it on You Can't Kill Us!! 💖💖💖
I just recently found these guys, and I love 'em.
Ariel's voice is beautiful.
This song describes a friendship I had a long time ago. We can't save someone who doesn't want to save her/himself. I had to learn that lesson the hard way. To this day, I wonder if she is still alive. When I left, I'd done everything I could to help her, but it wasn't enough. For years, I told myself that if she was dead, it was my fault. But, it wouldn't be. I did all I could, even to the point being dragged down with her. I think this is one of those things we can only learn through experience, and sometimes not even then.
Dont give up on trying to make a change with your lyrics, some of us actually are listening to more than just the music. I love you guys. Been listening since I was 14 and now I'm 20 and it took me 6 years to understand what you were trying to tell us all.
"You and I go deep like water, you and I run red like blood, I know all your darkest secrets, I know what you're made of." That sounds like me, and my best friend Mikayla, we're both subscribed to Icon For Hire and they have helped us both.
*screaming* I love you so much Ariel keep up the great work ❤❤❤
I don't know where I'd be without them in my life.
PERFECT STORM!!!!! I INSTANTLY STARTED SINGING ALONG!!!!
You guys deserve way more recognition.
YESSS!! Literally screamed when i heard it's perfect storm :D

I....have....hoped...and..prayed for...sooo long..for this song to become an official track. Thank you God! Keep it up with the great music Ariel!
oh my gosh, they managed to get the rights!!!! Loved this song, and they made it amazing!!!
OMG!!.finally this song came out..I really love this song..it has so much meaning for me..before this I only listen to the demo and now the recording version already came out..Auuuuuwwww
I was at the first show for that tour and she was like "you guys don't know this song it's the first time playing it tomorrow they'll all know it because they'll look it up" then it was perfect storm/numb by Linkin park. to date one of my favorite concerts!
Perfect Storm! Loved that song :3
dont ever stop doing your dream you guys rock !!! let nothing stop you your both amazing artists !!!!!

Oh... Chills up my spine actually exists...
Omg this is in my top three along with happy hurts and under the knife
My favorite song from the album hands down.
i got the you cant kill us album 2 days ago this is probably my favourite song off the album
Can I just mention the fact that this band has been helping a lot with my depression. I found a reason to get better and it's not that they saved me it's the fact that I found the strength to save myself. Thank you so much
I'm so glad you guys exist without icon for hire I probably would have committed suicide years ago.... You guys are what keeps me going , so thanks you so much and I will most definitely buy your new album !!! Thank you so much for saving me and creating such amazing music !!!
they are back with their awesomeness!
I was waiting for it... Thank you so much !

I constantly replayed this song (when it was perfect storm) when my dad relapsed after 14 years of sobriety

Ahhh! YAY!! 😂 I screamed when I saw this 😋😆

Omg! Shivers down my spine! Awesome!

Amazing!
I recently started listening to your music and I LOVE IT!!! I have listened to all of your music I could find and have reached the conclusion that the label holds you back. I hope to hear much more from you!
PERFECTION 💖
amazing.
That feeling when a good band forgets guitars exist. Rip Icon for Hire.
Elyssia White guitars don't have to be in every song for it to be good.
I got into Icon for Hire because they were a good rock/metal band. This isn't that at all, so they alienated me entirely as a fan.
OMG such a beautiful song!!
Love this band so much
I'm so happy you guys have released new material! I've been in need of a fix for quite some time! 😝
Love your voice. that i have been looking all the time
Love it,
You guys rock!!
God. I didn't expect they rerecorded this song. I fucking LOVE it *-*
You guys deserve more recognition, these songs are amazing!
I've been a fan of your music since I was 10 :3
I love this song!
Good song guys, I can't wait for the other songs.
