Sleepy Eyes,

I saw you walk your way into my mind,

I saw you stumble through this shallow world,

And I’m the one who cries

Sleepy Eyes,

I called you over to my empty house,

The one you slipped inside and spoke about

The hope inside of me

And I screamed you shouldn’t be here,

But I whispered not to go.

Look around you at the waking world.

It’s been a while

Since I shook you out my shadow, man,

But things are different now, please understand

That the faded lamp still glows.

And I couldn’t recognise you now,

And I shouldn’t want to know.

Just try looking in the mirror, man.

Come, right now,

Someone’s calling from the road.

Come, suffer through the days,

Sirens singing; oh so brutal.

I’m fading

To the corners every time.

Flung downtown

For a minute; back on top.
