lyrics

the eye is old and it sees all these things,
the curve of a girl, and the shine of her ring
the eye it blinks and a tear drop forms
at the loss of a prize, at a baby is born

& you're tied to him,
you let it begin
will it ever end?
O, how the eye offends

the eye is a door through which the mind is enticed
by dazzling lights so seemingly nice
when the eye fails to see clearly,
dumb fuckin' desire, no, it won't let you be

& it's tied to you,
this residue,
your rightful due,
an eye untrue

the eye dies so deep in the skull
once gross sensations now disturbingly dull
the eye dries, O, how it has betrayed
with this deception you're bound to remain.

you're tied to the eye,
the offending eye,
you've let it lie to you,
a 1000 times, you fool
