Painted Eyes

My resolve fails I wonder why I try at all

Just let this rock roll over my bones

In the space of an hour my life devolves to something like

A moss that grows between the stones

And I confine my racing mind

To replacing what I cannot find

A path leads to the river my footprints know their own way there

With echoes bouncing in my head

Feel my body shiver growing despair

Give in to the will that must be fed

I can feel you out there wandering alone

Watch the water rise

Bound overflow as rain melts the snow

With tears from painted eyes

Like a flower on a weed I'm fuelling everybody's need to

Bring me down, green turns to brown all

I was to dry my tears in sunlight

I survive when world collide despite the lies they all go to seed

Cut the flower from the weed watch as all the rest go to seed

Cut the flower from the weed

Watch the rest all turn into the seed of your demise

Now I can feel the universal will to live goes on

A fatal compromise

The sacred blood will flow

Like tears from painted eyes

I must know
