One Eye For A Thousand

Eyes
A thousand eyes
Waiting below the waves
Because above the rain burns
My past becomes a lie

Goodbye sense of awareness
I drink adrenaline

Like mother's milk
It soothes me

Remove all that I trust
All I'm ashamed for
State of remission
I feed of the vulture

I'm left breathless
The battle is lost

One step takes a thousand miles
One black circle where I expected sun
One blind spot
One eye for a thousand eyes
Where I begun
Underwater
I'm reborn

I got stuck in the nether
On a lonely cloud
While the heat burns my feathers
We're all homeward bound
With a roar I dive down
And I greet the seas
With words from an opiate verse

I am
I am waiting for
One hand to raise a thousand fists
One moment caught in a thousand times
One blind spot
One eye for a thousand eyes
One place to long for
And I surrender to my pride

I got stuck in the nether
On a lonely cloud
While the heat burns my feathers
We're all homeward bound
With a roar I dive down
And I greet the seas
Goodbye

These eyes
Have seen the abyss
This mouth
Has told a thousand lies

My hands
are washed in guilt and
I face
my own reflection's flight

What are you waiting for

You are left with
nothing
