Of Eyes That See Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scares me that I'm not afraid of losing any more
Where's the edge I used to walk?
Haunts me that I'm not afraid of hurting any more
I refuse to live my days
So complacent that I'm numb to the bone
I wanna live to see the day
That the words I sing are more than just a song
Hold me close, I need to feel alive
I can't waste any more time
I am finally seeing the light
Don't let me go, I need to feel alive
I can't waste any more time
I am finally seeing the light
There's a bliss I used to love
A sweeter sense of freedom that I've ever felt before
But every step I take, I fall
Deeper into ignorance, it's all I've ever known
I refuse to live my days
So complacent that I'm numb to the bone
I wanna live to see the day
That the words I sing are more than just a song
Teach me to walk on the waters
Show me what a life with a meaning would be
Take me across all the oceans
I wanna go further than I've ever dreamed

If you pass away in the wing fortress
The time divider
A technical team will be at your services
For what that matters
When the mirror shatters, it's harder for me to see
If there are any answers here we haven't searched for
Just type in your code and say a prayer
How could it be? We were so secure
'Cause nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned
What I tried to say
This couldn't feel more wrong
I can't believe it's happening
Or lasting this long
If we know each other
Then why should it be so hard
Why should it be so hard to make it stop?
If there are any answers here we haven't searched for
Just type in your code and say a prayer
How could it be? We were so secure
'Cause nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned
What I tried to say
This isn't real
And I feel ashamed that I don't think that I can heal
It's a shame that I would pretend before making amends
It's a shame that I can't
But nothing you've ever planned on ever turns out
But nothing you've ever planned on ever turned out the way you planned
You're still disappointing them
You're still disappointing
You're still disappointing them
If there are any answers here we haven't searched for
Just type in your code and say a prayer
How could it be? We were so secure
Nothing you've ever planned on ever turned out the way you planned

How could this be not the greatest song in the planet?
@masterdanx9335
When mediocrity thrives and is the center of "art" attraction yet precious gems of True art like this get mishandled and forgotten. Pathetic to our humanity we prefer comfortable simplicity versus mind chilling paradoxes.
Fuck all this over an album I'm truly in love with well fuck the world what else you want

It's a shame that I would pretend before making amends.
