Eye Of The Storm tells the story of my journey from my depression towards a new balance. With all the doubts, fears and setbacks that came with it.

LYRICS

Nothing new here
But down the line
It doesn’t make a difference
When there’s nowhere to hide

All this bleeding
It’s all I know
I didn’t want to see it
Cause it’s hard to let go

I’m standing on my own
And I am facing down this storm

Nothing free out here
A lonely fight
I’m not sure I can make it
Cause I already tried

Lost my patience with
Laying low
The last time I was smiling
Was a lifetime ago

I’m standing on my own
And I am wading through this storm

Then I just can feel it
The first ray of light

And I stop to see it
Igniting the sky

Then I just can hear it
The absence of sound

And I can’t believe it
It’s peaceful around

But I’ve seen this place before
I can’t trust it anymore
What’s been gained has been replaced
Put me right back in my cage

Nothing new here
But it’s not the same
The fury of the floodwaves
Has been ebbing away

I’m only starting to understand
The reasons why this darkness
Won’t be striking again

Been walking for so long
But I can make it on my own
