Xes for Eyes

from This Soft Red Oblivion by Tomorrow's Man

/

lyrics

"My luggage is only a flask, a wallet, an old cloak, and the obol that will pay my passage as the departed."

Give me my xes for eyes,
With what you've done I may already have died;
Give me a smile and a reason why
You puppeted me all of this time;
Give me my xes for eyes
You may as well have thrust me over the side;
Give me a final moment of sanity
One second of truth so I can rest in peace.

Protect me from yourself – Protect me from your cagey smile
Protect me from everything you hide
Protect me from yourself – Protect me from your careful destruction
Protect me from the things that made you mine,
Your smiles, smiles and lies – your smiles, smiles and lies
Protect me from yourself – Protect me from your cagey smiles

Give me my xes for eyes
No need for you to worry about my life;
Give me a final smile to set me free,
I’ll never know what that grin really means;
Give me my xes for eyes,
My desire worth the obol that keep me bound;
Give me a kiss goodbye and your reason why
You wasted so much of my time

Protect me from your delicate blasphemies
