Tired Eyes - Hey Rosetta!

I raised my head from the riverbed and i tasted the air

I built my home of oak and stone and i feasted on the animals and earth

I raised my kids in modern beds and i taught them to take what’s theirs

I built this town on god and doubt and science (an economy of fear)

I drained the pond and the woods beyond for dinner, and the river for a song

The more i’ve got the more i want.

i’m blinded… but i’m waking up!

Tired eyes, open wide

Blossom iris into lily white

Tired eyes, open wide

Salty brine — bluest sky

Tired eyes, open wide

Either side — all these veins of light!
