Ben Burnley sings about eyes a lot!

while listening to my Breaking Benjamin C.D.s I noticed that the word eyes is said about a trillion times ( well maybe not that many but still a lot) so I have this little list of all the times eyes are mentioned in Breaking Benjamin songs.  
"I Wish I May"
"Blind eyes shine bright"
"Sugarcoat"
"Suck on your lies 'til your eyes turn red"
"Your eyes are red"
"Shallow Bay"
"your virgin eyes"
"Phase"
"The light is dead in your eye"
"Inside the shade of your eye"
"Ordinary Man"
"Your beady eyes burn a hole right through the back of mine"
"Believe"
"My dead eyes"
"Away"
"With red in your eyes"
"Dance With The Devil"
"Close your eyes, so many days go by."
"Don't you dare look at him in the eye"
"Feeling your cold dead eyes, stealing the life of mine."
"Breath"
"I see nothing in your eyes"
"I know that I can find the fire in your eyes."
"Had Enough"
"The apple of your eye."
"Intoxicated eyes"
"Anthem Of The Angels"
"I can see it in your eyes"
"What Lies Beneath"
"Your cold jaded eyes"
"Crawl"
"Your black dead eyes"
"Dilated eyes shine for one last time"
"I Will Not Bow"
"Watch the end through dying eyes"
"Open your eyes!"
"Into The Nothing"
"Carry the wounded and shut your eyes"
"Follow the hopeless And shut your eyes"

And now a quote and a picture.
“We’ve been together 8 years, which is like 20 years these days. We’ve honed our sound and focus. Being on the road, you become a better musician, and the more music you listen to and the more experiences and people you’re exposed to, the more complicated you become, the more complicated your music can become.” -Ben Burnley

Ben Lee

In the rain
I'm walking slowly
there's a light
in your apartment
I don't know why
I ache for you

and it's alright if you're undecided or,
if you're scared that you might like it or
if it's true, I ache for you

there's no rhyme and there's no reason
you're the secret in the back of my skull
there's no logic, so please believe me
our love's confusing, but it never gets dull

it's getting late
anticipation
and if we talk
communication
and then you'll know
I ache for you

and yeah, sometimes it's just desire
another problem there you really don't want
but anyway, I ache for you.

there's no rhyme and there's no reason
You know the secret in the back of my skull
there's no logic, so please believe me
our love's confusing, but it never gets, it never gets dull

I ache for you.

I ache for you.

and I'm tired, of so much wanting
and what if, don't even think it
but why not.

there's no rhyme and there's no reason
put a secret in the back of my skull (back of my skull)
there's no logic, so please believe me
our love's confusing, but it never gets dull (it never gets dull)

there's no rhyme and there's no reason
you're the secret in the back of my skull (back of my skull)
there's no logic, so please believe me
our love's confusing, but it never gets dull (never gets dull)
but it never gets dull (never gets dull)
never gets dull
I ache for you

I ache for you

I ache for you
I ache for you
I ache for you

Edison has swag

E.D.I.S.O.N
Everything we did we did as a team
Determined to make a tight friendship
Inspiration to us all as one another
SWAG
Over the top we were just the bomb.!
Natural beauty 



last week i went to NYLC in D.C. my LGM (leader ship group meeting) was called Edison, after Thomas Edison 


Edison forever by Isaiah

So on July 10 at NYLC I met 25 other people that changed me, I wasn't always the cool kid or outgoing but they helped me see how I've grown so much. In room 215 we began a group of strangers, but became a family, still a family S.W.A.G
heres a lil sumthin sumthin 4 my edison fam and anyone else who likes good writing
So we are Edison, Ben's LGM the best group NYLC had to represent
We came together and the Love Given Made strangers into friends
We ran around the city, saw it all and cash we were steady blowin
But all of DC saw our swag was always showin
Smiles were glowin, sweeter than Candyland at game night
From the first sunday to the last monday no one remained the same right?
Never the lame type, as we saw in the variety show
We all had something to contribute so all society could know
Instead of looking for tomorrow we seized the day like Arizona seized Lemon Johnson
And in the end we passed social boundaries like the streets we were always crossin
From Maddie, Jaleel, Nathaniel and Jared to Lauren, Megan, Haley, Camacho & Dannyqua
In room 215 we left the presence of conquerors and smashed every challenged they offered us
We had Kyra, Nick,James, Joleigh, Chris, Emily, SarahGene, Bailey and Mariah
To go home and be the change we were inspired
It took a while but after 2 days it was smooth sailin like us on the Oddyssey
And it was all real cus our constitution was built on honesty
That made us better than model congress honestly
And to the rest of Edison I didnt name, I'm still glad everybody came
Our 9 days in the summer sun I would never trade
The days on bus 4 singing A Thousand Miles
Our Self Worth Achieved Greatness and that made it all worthwhile

i love my Edison family and always will
