lyrics

Blood will find a vessel like a book will find a worm
stamen finds a pistil as they cauterize the wound

damn your eyes, your wandering eyes

the heart is just an organ wanting only to be played
mine is often orphaned wanting only that you stayed

damn your eyes, your drifting eyes

time's just a river flooding the banks
season of monsoon the torrential rains
watching your body rise, damn your eyes

an oak tree in the forest, whale bones in the sea
it's more then the past affords us, our aching baby teeth

damn your eyes, stop your crying

the mystic and the profit the carnival of life
a mystery for the skeptic who's just along for the ride

damn your eyes, your cheating eyes

rifle through your failed affairs, every brunette you betrayed
summer's gone and autumn left but winter is here to stay

damn your eyes, your bloodshot eyes

the wind may chart a gentle course aloft the ancient deep
no one charts the monsters below growing impatient and growing teeth

damn your eyes, your angry eyes

we pay our own way
with bits of our soul
blood in the grass
and a broken nose
the carnage of love's truth
and love's lies
damn your eyes...
