lyrics

My eyes are blind and my hands are tied
Soft spoken words on the wind
My lips are dry and so are my eyes
Awake in bed once again

I've been a victim of sleepless nights
My thoughts are clockwork and still
And the flowers to scatter this hill are empty bed
With footprints from kids
Driven to the streets to kill

My eyes are blind and my hands are tied
Soft spoken words on the wind
My lips are dry and so are my eyes
Awake in bed once again

Why do I die each time I close my eyes
In dreams I choose not to believe
The waking reality I fear is a boy
lonely and in need
Lonely and in need

My eyes are blind and my hands are tied
Soft spoken words on the wind
My lips are dry and so are my eyes
Awake in bed once again
(Repeat chorus)

These televised suicides and congressional handshakes of crime
These black out radio signals and business channels that blind us
Our thoughts are locked into talk over this and of that
Like which way to walk, the streets are littered with lines

Musical Interlude

These televised suicides and congressional handshakes of crime
These black out radio signals and business channels that blind us
