You don't think about your innocence
Walking through life is just a bore
You don't care about your next offense
Collecting money like a whore
Playing people like an instrument
Yet they can't see the song's the same
And if you're off-key, to their detriment
They blindly stumble through the game
But you're just in it to win
I see through you
Standing in the eye of the storm
I see through you
Can you see your hate is not the norm
You seem to see yourself as omnipotent
Tell your minions what is real
But your word show you're just ignorant
You've lost the art of the deal
How soon we all forget
I see through you
Standing in the eye of the storm
I see through you
Can you see your hate is not the norm
Your time is running out
You're about to fall
All we have to do is wait
You're losing all your clout
A joke to us all
Get ready, soon you'll face your fate
I see through you
Standing in the eye of the storm
I see through you
Can you see your hate is not the norm

I don’t know what to do
With these stickers on my wall
Should I Build a boat go to West Virginia
Then to London for the afternoon
And if I ever get these hands
Wrapped around this head I will come back home
Say a prayer write a thank you note
For anything you do
Go to hell never mind
I don’t’ understand the words you choose
And if you ever stayed up late after dark
to face the Eye of the Storm
The Dogs are always
Barking late at night
I can’t tell if they’re screaming or talking
Or Serving or begging anymore
I don’t know what to do
With these stickers on my wall

My love for the black rain keeps me warm
One foot on the edge in the eye of the storm
Take another trip and close your eyes
Disconnect yourself into the lies
The world is full of counterfeit surprise
Choking on the words to criticize
The dimmer clouds the sun rays by design
Smothering the light that we can shine

I NEVER SAW YOU COMING
NEVER SAW YOUR FACE
NEVER TOOK TIME TO NOTICE
ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE
I BET THEY’LL SAY WE WERE HEROS
I BET THE STORIES THEY TELL
WHEN THEY DIG THROUGH THE WRECKAGE
THE NIGHT THE SKY FINALLY FELL
ITS CALM IN THE EYE OF THE HURRICANE
BUT SOON WE’LL BE THROWN OUT TO SEA
IT S CALM IN THE EYE OF THE HURRICANE
BUT SOON WE’LL BE THROWN BACK OUT TO SEA

everyone says they have the answer
but that it really needs to come from me
I didn’t choose to give it all away
I didn’t choose to never be free
can it be the same
after you faced
the eye of the storm
and everything’s erased
can it be the same
after you faced
the eye of the storm
and everything’s erased
where can I get another
man I need another
where I can I get another
…I gotta stop..
where can I get another
man I need another
where I can I get another
…I gotta stop.

Nowhere to fight but it's hard to leave
Trapped under ice harder to believe
Made your bed and shat in it curl up to keep your warm
Only place to hide is the eye of the storm
Keep selling fiction to the base delight
Pray for the families then turn off the light
Nothing to believe in cept for greed and hate and scorn
Find you telling lies in the eyes of the storm
Bridge:
In the eye of the storm, hope for the kids
I will never forget and we won't forgive
Eyes are open wide and watching every day
We shall overcome some way
So much for deals more like double takes
Feet in your mouth to cover up mistakes
Laughing stock but jokes on us whole some they tried to warn
Search for peace retreat in the eye of the storm

Everything seems perfect
The wait has finally disappeared
Regret and remorse I'll reject
The sun is shining, skies are cleared
In the distance are distorted faces
Changing in and out of view
Raging and parading so Complacent
their incessant abuse
Here I am
In the eye of the storm
Here I am
Nice and calm like before
Here I am
Surrounded by the debris
Here I am
Come on and save me
Walls creaking standing their ground
Where do I begin?
Doors jarred in the series of sounds
When the roof caved in
Thunder echoes as the wall approaches
The howling of the wind
Louder as lightening encroaches
Here we go again
Here I am
In the eye of the storm
Here I am
Not so calm like before
Here I am
Deafening my pleas
Here I am
No one can save me

I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm
They say it's like coming clean
Say it's like being born again
When the judgement comes
I hope you'll look lightly on me
When the stars fall
The stars fall into the sea
I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm
They say it's like coming clean
Say it's like being born again
---
I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm
They say it's like running free
Like breaking from the norm
Breaking from the norm
After all is said & done
We get what we deserve
Say what you gotta say
They won't hear a single word
I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm
They say it's like coming clean
Like being born again
---
I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm
They say it's like running free
Like breaking from the norm
Breaking from the norm
I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm
I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm

The assignment this week comes from me, and I’m going to keep it simple and open-ended. Just include the phrase “the eye of the storm” somewhere in your song.
