Glassy Eyes

from Dilated by Riverwood

/

lyrics

Cracked teeth and a crooked smile, every meter is a mile.
Broken bones and bloodshot eyes, with arms stretched across the sky.
Cold skin on scorched earth; for what purpose does this serve?
Maybe this is all I'm worth or maybe this is what I deserve?

I can't feel the wind, the rain and the cold 'cause I numbed myself with alcohol.
I can't seem to sleep at night, so I wait around for morning light.
I've bent my will, I've bruised and broke my heart in so many ways.
I've been without reason to be awake; when I'd sleep, I'd sleep the day away.

I've watched the sun, the moon and the stars fall out from the sky.
I've watched some things I've held so dear wash away with the tide.
I've crawled across the floor in a world of make believe,
Similarly I've watched the shore crawl out to the sea.

It's such a waste of time, each day more glass covers our eyes.
Are we dead or just asleep?
We live and breathe, but we've lost our will to dream.
