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
