Greater Eyes

Stop... Do you think I care

You can take a ride on the drop

But you've got to get off somewhere.

And I know you love the taste

Of my summer fall from grace.

Fall from grace but not from greater eyes.

You blew a bubble and it drifted from your scope,

And I mistook it for a crystal ball.

I tried to conjure it but all I got was soap

And the vapor in your breath that formed a formless waterfall

That whispered,

We are the mice of both extremes

Sifting for gold in the neon sand

I'm a bit old for these hollow dreams

And he seems kind of tall for a wooden man.

What do you want to do

Time is up or have you forgot

There's no one left but you,

And I feel you in my brain

Trying to open up the drain,

Drain you out but not from greater eyes.

Peripherally I saw me spiralling in space,

Surrounded by stuffed animals and dolls

And you were waving all these flashcards in my face

Saying memorize these emotions

And the formless waterfall took over

So... what's your attack

Our armistice is over,

It ain't coming back.

And I know this all began

Because I killed the wooden man

And sent him far away from greater eyes.
