Polluted Eyes

from Wild Children by Black Owls

/

lyrics

I'm aware of the way I treat you
I've been poisoning your water well
I've come to face it I'm so commonplace
in your mind

slow burning for the ego lovers
riding in with no chance in hell
they cannot hear your lies
or see your polluted eyes - nooo

My sober attitude
cause anytime is much too often
I'm never in the mood
nailed in my feeble coffin
feeling such a dude
waiting for the rope to soften
let it slip around my throat - cause

I'm not sneaking out of this one
I can try - there's no reason why
shallow creek of compromise
is covering polluted eyes - sadly

stories leaching out a moral sewer
staining truth I worked so hard to find
perjury served up on ice
slaughtered for your sacrifice - daily

My drunken attitude
cause everytime is much too often
You're never in the mood
nailed in your iron coffin
feeling misconstrued
waiting for the dope to soften
let it slip right down my throat, cause
I've forgotten how to comfort
I've forgotten how to say your name.
