Through These Eyes

Like a lamb at first dawn
you lay down in perfect form.
Your fear is their strength
but all that could change
if you jump the fence.
The shepherds may change,
but the sheep remain sheep
so keep your heads down,
and go back to sleep.

Be what you've got to be
but don't look for sympathy.
Through these eyes
all things seen
are as they seem
can't change a thing.

Scale those thoughts
that lay you down.
Those so called savage pearls
can't hold you now.
Naked truth
should always shine.
Easy to talk about
but so hard to find.
Still you wait
and play the perfect host,
you never do anything
that will rock the boat.

Be what you've got be
but don't look for sympathy.
Through these eyes
all things seen
are as they seem
can't change a thing.

I cursed the air
you dare to breath.
I cursed the hate
that you put in me.
I cursed the song
you dare to sing.
I curse the gifts
you dare to bring.
We deserve
better than this,
enough is enough
they're taking the piss.

Be what you've got be
but don't look for sympathy.
Through these eyes
all things seen
are as they seem
can't change a thing.
