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
