"American Eyes" lyrics

"American Eyes"

You drop the bomb
Using all your chlorine
You find yourself
So far down it's normal
There a defeat
The slow burn comes
To carry back
To earth or where you're from

You feed me whole
Varied nutrients
I lost control
I trashed all my instincts

I wanted to escape
To feel nothing at all

Cause they are alive
You spoke to me
Broken disguise
Of my empathy
My Valentine
She wrote to me
Will you ever come again

England has gone
The way of the gypsies
We do what we can
Within the systems
I hope you feel the Earth turn inside of you

Cause they are alive
You spoke to me
Broken disguise
Of my empathy

American eyes so close to me
Will you ever come again
Will you ever come again
Will you ever come again

A heavy load
And a fucked up system
You're on your own
With all you instance
All you see is all you get
Surfing on the waves of promises
My Valentine
She wrote to me
American eyes
So close to me
American eyes
So close to me
American eyes
Will you ever come again
Will you ever come again
American eyes
American eyes
Will you ever come again
Will you ever come again
Will you ever come again
American eyes
