I long for the summer
I long for the sun,
gently touching my face.
I'll open my eyes,
let it burn every splinter.
Unleash desert storms
on its way to my heart.

And I had this coming
every day of my life
This is where I stop fighting,
eyes open wide!

You took this (BLADE!)
and (CUT!) a (WRECK!)
And in one (BLOW!)
laid (BARE!) your (NECK!)
(Where did we go wrong?)

I once had blue eyes, hungry and wise
Now they are black from this dark age of lies
We're all privatized, industrialized
We capitalize on the beams in our eyes
It's all in the eyes.

Eyes - tearing with sorrow,
Burning with anger and passion and l___.
The swift wind of thought,
Of wildness and laughter,
The soil of defiance,
The firm ground of trust.

(We had this coming
- every day of our lives)
(We should start fighting
for eyes open wide)

But I am put here, in this world gone insane
Where everything's for sale
From nature, over stars down to DNA
Then I can gladly say
That I'd be the first to break that norm
Any day, any way,
And the last to join the ranks to hunt down the Daily Threat or any other brand of prey!

You took this (BLADE!)
and (CUT!) a (WRECK!)
And in one (BLOW!)
laid (BARE!) your (NECK!)
(Where did we go wrong?)

We once had blue eyes,
probing the skies.
Now they are blackened
from this modern life.
All privatized, industrialized,
a failure offensive
and sore to the eye.

One small step for man
Maybe this time I'll fly
And if I hit the ground,
it's the way we all die
We are wrecks of the cut.
Soups of the season.
With dollar sign scars,
From this dark age of treason.

We all know how to cry
Then we learn how to smile
How to smile
We're all telling the truth
Tell us the truth!
Then we learn how to lie
And oh, how we lie
Now we lie

When you bow your heads tomorrow
At the world we build today
I want you to remember
That I stood my ground and said no (say no)
I said no...
Say no!
