Your sight through my eyes

you see the mountains and you see vastness
i look on and see how much thier humps bear
you view the ocean, you see beauty
i see the color of a tear

you watch the birds and you see freedom
i find a soul so lost in the sky
you laugh with a friend, you see a smile
i see a heart that wants to die

you see a world so bright and clear
you feel a G-d so good and true
i see an eye so full of pain
i feel the doubts and questions brew

you see a million futures ahead 
and joy and dancing in the rain
i see a fear of going forward
and anger and dying of pain

your heart is pure and full of hope
mine is full of hate and stuck
your insides speak of love and joy
mine is overflowing with muck

you breathe an air of misty days
the ones that make you feel alive
but me? I'm lying in my bed
waiting nicely for death to arrive
