One Eye for a Thousand - Textures

Eyes — a thousand eyes waiting below the waves — because above the rain burns

My past becomes a lie

Goodbye sense of awareness — I drink adrenaline like mother’s milk,

it soothes me

Remove all that I trust, all I’m ashamed for, state of remission,

I feed of the vulture

I’m left breathless — the Battle is lost

One step takes a thousand miles — one black circle where I expected sun

One blind spot — one eye for a thousand eyes

Where I begun: underwater I’m reborn

I got stuck in the nether on a lonely cloud, while the heat burns my feathers

We’re all homeward bound — with a roar I dive down and I greet the seas

With words from an opiate verse

I am waiting for

One hand to raise a thousand fists

One moment caught in a thousand times

One blind spot

One eye for a thousand eyes

One place to long for

And I surrender to my pride

Goodbye

These eyes have seen the abyss

This mouth has told a thousand lies

My hands are washed in guilt and

I face my own reflection’s flight

What are you waiting for

You are left with nothing
