With Water In My Eyes

WITH WATER IN MY EYES I moved to town, and the people came And stole from me They took the brightness from my life And the colour from my skies They stole the pity from my eyes And the fur from off my cat They killed my pride and crippled my beliefs Then buried my love, and planted seeds of lust They used my body to poison my mind And then they took my soul And slowly crushed it dry Now my skin grows thicker by the hour My heart lies coated with envy And I have learnt the power of hate Now they own my body and my mind Yet I feel so very strange For my hungry hollow shell That wanders home at night Sometimes sees the stars And I must lean against the wall For I do not see so very well With water in my eyes
