Analysis of Eyes
Until I'm born I'm dying
The road is long and winding
I've seen the world behind me
So I know there's more like me
I been at the crossroads done this before
Swore to my soul that I wouldn't go further
But I'm still in motion – Supposed to coast to the ocean
But the under tow is forceful
I got a suitcase
With a blue suit
Become a little two face a little too soon
In a cramped room
Turned on the vacuum
Suck the oxygen out now
Death looms
I see all of the eyes entirely
I see all of them I see all of them
