New Eyes

Take it on the chin
You knew it was coming around
Tell me where you've been
I'm falling off your plate
I don't wanna hear it again
I'd say better never than late
Nod your head and change the subject
...
Keep me up til the sunrise
I wanna see it through my new eyes
A true gift you gave me
I wasn't living but they saved me
When the gift stops giving
You'll feel the scale start tipping
Hear your thoughts start clicking
...
Dip in your toes
Rip off your blinkers
Don't think you'll know, 'til you've burnt your fingers
There's a time to tie-up that silver tongue
It can't fool everyone
But does damn well to sow the seed
...
Dip in your toes
Rip off your blinkers
You won't let it show
But the scent still lingers
There's a time to tie-up that silver tongue
It keeps jumping the gun
But bent truths never lose
...
