Eyes Of The World - Only Crime

Locked inside

A step in the sun

Losing time

But controlling the one

That feral genius

Is sick to the touch

To sever a secret

We love it too much

I see the innocent swell

Then they put me back in my cell

There’s no permanent law

I can’t forget what I saw

And maybe just about the time that I catch my breath

I remember all the things that led down to it You tell me it’s wrong

To try to pretend

This subversion

Won’t happen again

The weight of indifference

It swings for the fence

At least we can try

Forever in debt

And the eyes of the world turn pale

Don’t tell me how the price will fall justified on time

Just a measure of the proxy line stealing what’s been said

Depreciated in the righteous vein sold on down the line

We’re keeping weight on the arterial flow a static piece in time
