In The Tempest's Eye

(album: Carefree Theatre - 2020)

I made myself so lonely
I couldn't numb the pain
Let every new distraction fan the flames

I saw the full moon rising
I knew I couldn't stay
And so I rode the current far away

I tore the bandage off me
And yea, it broke the skin
I saw my isolation start and end

So I unplugged the modem
Turned off the radio
This life is for the living, let me go

Back with all her rhythms
Back at all her chores
I hear voices echo
Right outside her door

When the storm surrounds her
She can see the sky
Sealed inside a thought loop
In the tempest's eye

And she can't remember
Even yesterday
In and out her mind
No, I couldn't stay

But I know she's never
Gonna be alone
She will find somebody
Who will warm her bones
