Eye of the Storm
Look me in the eyes
And tell me no lies
If I am a man then I am a man
But believe me I have no plan
A shifting paradox with locks
I'm crafty like a fox
Close the window and the blinds
The room goes black like our minds
Delusion paints my apathy
As I peer at the sky absently
Drift in and out on the wind
Scars eventually mend
You told me death is not the answer
Even if living is truly a cancer
I slip into the shadows at night
And I cry in despair at the thought of losing sight
Embrace a world of gray
Grace is found in the flowers of May
And I surely brought you to tears
Highlighting every one of your fears
Each word I spew creates a stain
Such a strain that fills you with pain
And I'm the one confused when you refused
To allow my soul to be battered and abused
You told me strength is in the flower
And that its power can unlock the dark tower
I don't know what's worth fighting for
And this game is something I abhor
My heart crashes with thunder
And I'm afraid of my most recent blunder
Look me in the eyes
And I'll tell you no lies
If I control your heart thread
You're doomed to be dead
Because if you need a reason
Realize my love is truly treason
