My eyes I wish I could remove And change them with another Yes, it's true That they are blue Just like those of my mother Not how they look The reason why I wish they would unscrew If I did wear A different pair Perhaps a different view
Oh, please dear friend Just briefly lend If not two then just one It's all I need To plant a seed "Before" can be undone The way you see How you view me Wish for me same was true But my eyes frown As they look down Don't see things like you do
Pathetically I try to flee But can't outrun myself My destiny Forever weak Success put on a shelf If just a peak A passing streak Please give me something new Ask for one scene Where I could gleen An image that is true
A sparkling sheen But in between The lines I start to skew Awake or dream Not what they seem Instead a nightmare drew Why can't I find Place in my mind A honed in frequency To feel sublime Like all is fine Replace my cup of tea
If for one day Saw things your way Beliefs maybe could change Instead I lay In bed I've made Forget eyes, need new brain
