Eyes Like Ours

Do you recall when the world was still young?
Just a small town
Just a small town
Well, I heard you walked 'cross its borders
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
And eyes full of wonder
Times, they were hard, they brought you to the dirt
That buried you
That buried you
And under the ground, you got tangled by the roots
Of what you’d known
Of what you’d known
And no tears in their eyes, they had nothing to say
Just watching you
Just watching you
And eyes gaze and focus
And things have come around but you’re minding only
What has been done
What has been done
And it is a great weight that’s been holding you down
While drawing you in
While drawing you in
And eyes take your breath away
Taking their time, take it easy while
You’re losing control
You’re losing control
And eyes daze unfocused
And eyes like ours
They bring the world to us
They turn you around and around
And eyes following the daylight
Back into the ground
Back into the ground
