Through These Eyes

from Wildfire by The Smashrooms

/

lyrics

I'm a little man
I'm a jailer for myself
in fact no one knows
what tears up my frightned soul
and won't let me see
I'm the demiurge of my misery
in the hotbed of fears, fed with faith, lust, endless
greed, I am my own prison day and night

I'll never see the light
the untold truth that barely seeps throught these eyes
the masses can't arise
and I will lay quiet in this bed, with tied hands and veiled eyes

I'm the shapeless sand
that is sliding through your hand
like the careless look
at an advert on the bus
that drives you home
every day at five o' clock and then, almost like a flash the perception of the truth that you won't get

I'll never see the light
the untold truth that barely seeps throught these eyes
the masses can't arise
and I will lay quiet in this bed, with tied hands and veiled eyes

a hint to freedom
when my mind is wandering
stuck in alleys and contorted roads
to then realize that I'm just wandering
like a ghost in a prison of my own
alone
alone
alone
alone
