The Eye - Brandi Carlile

I know you're running from a tidal wave You can't ignore I know you're trapped inside a hurricane In the eye of the storm Of the storm Of the storm When it feels like you can't go on You're only one step away From breaking down the walls you made The walls you made and I know it's hard to move on I know it's hard to let go But you're only one step away From getting out of the eye of the storm Eye of the storm You're one step away From falling off the edge It's messing with your head It's making you forget That you're one step away From conquering the pain From overcoming darkness When fear's in the way You're only one step away From breaking down the walls you made The walls you made and I know it's hard to move on I know it's hard to let go But you're only one step away Don't let it bury you, oh I know you're running from a tidal wave You can't ignore I know you're trapped inside a hurricane In the eye of the storm But you're only one step away From breaking down the walls you made The walls you made and I know it's hard to move on I know it's hard to let go (I know it's hard to let go) I know it's hard to move on I know it's hard to let go But you're only one step away From getting out of the eye of the storm Eye of the storm Don't let it bury you!

It's the birth of a star, earlier than sunset It's the galaxy swollen, flowing like a river babe It's the rain, oh the rain Drawn upon this on my day Growing into a super nova Back to where we used to play It's an infinity, as I feast on time 'Cause it constantly leams perpetual desire 'Cause we worship the keeper The tide is going out now As we look out to see Legs sprawled and head down Yes they shine bright like a million, Let them blink twice for a minute Pleasure to have met you, you're my star tonight To have felt this oh sublime Like a grain of sand travelling through time Pleasure to have met you, you're my star tonight Yes they shine bright like a million Let them blink twice for a minute Pleasure to have met you, you're my star tonight To have felt this oh sublime Like a grain of sand travelling through time Pleasure to have met you, you're my star tonight We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye The time it took to realise What you say bears sweet on my soul Compliments with no surprises Making route straight to their home We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye Rusty man should improve this Not quite opting fury now Complications falling useless Alone and still I'm working out We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye

"See, I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do" "And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor" "Go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your CDs and burn 'em" "'Cause you know what? The musicians who've made all that great music" "That's enhanced your lives throughout the years?" "Real fucking high on drugs" "Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration" "That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively" "There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves" "Here's Tom with the weather" "It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom, that's what it is, okay?" "Keep that in mind at all times, thank you" Dreaming of that face again It's bright and blue and shimmering Grinning wide and comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes On my back and tumbling Down that hole and back again Rising up and wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye In Out In Out A child's rhyme stuck in my head It said that life is but a dream I've spent so many years in question To find I've known this all along So good to see you I've missed you so much So glad it's over I've missed you so much Came out to watch you play Why are you running away? Came out to watch you play Why are you running? Shrouding all the ground around me Is this holy crow above me Black as holes within a memory And blue as our new second sun I stick my hand into his shadow To pull the pieces from the sand Which I attempt to reassemble To see just who I might have been I do not recognize the vessel But the eyes seem so familiar Like phosphorescent desert buttons Singing one familiar song So good to see you I've missed you so much So glad it's over I've missed you so much Came out to watch you play Why are you running away? Came out to watch you play Why are you running away? Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye So good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding And you thought that I had run away Chasing the tail of dogma I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye and there we were So good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding from me And you thought that I had run away Chasing a trail of smoke and reason Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
