. . .

in the eye of a hurricane

Water.

there is quiet

So much water.

for just a moment

And pain.

a yellow sky

So.

Much.

Pain.

when i was seventeen

And tears.

a hurricane destroyed my town

So many tears.

i didn't drown

And crumpled up paper.

i couldn't seem to die

Crumpled up, torn, wet paper with illegible scribbles written all over it.

i wrote my way out

Empty bottles lining the edge.

wrote everything down far as i could see

Surrounded by an aura of death.

i wrote my way out

And smiling.

i looked up and the town had its eyes on me

So much smiling.

i'll write my way out

And happiness and joy and excitement.

overwhelm them with honesty

One, two three, one, two, three, four.

this is the eye of the hurricane, this is the only

One, two, three, four, fi...

way I can protect my legacy

Hurricane.

Open.

Scream.

in the eye of a hurricane
there is quiet
for just a moment
a yellow sky
