lyrics

Eye To Eye

Lead me to the game
Sacrificial lame
Show me 'round the rot from whence you came
Throw me to the room
All your gloom my doom
String me 'long for days, but do it soon
Throw me to the breeze
On my hands your knees
Nothing makes a burst like my balloon

I'm looking at you (yeah I'm looking at you)
Can you look at me now
Someone casting shadows of a doubt
And just as Mother Earth herself sometimes can't bear the mountains
Everybody cries
Yet somehow never quite see eye to eye

Wreck me like a train
Color me with blame
All the scapegoats graze on your terrain
Cast me to the wind
Let me twirl and spin
Prove you'd like to off your companion

I'm looking at you (yeah I'm looking at you)
Can you look at me now
Someone casting shadows of a doubt
And just as Mother Earth herself sometimes can't bear the mountains
Everybody cries
Yet somehow never quite see eye to eye
