Through My Eyes - Sylvan

With my thoughts astray I still hear you say that our fight is over

In credulity you played tricks on me — and it led us nowhere

What on earth you think made you sure again — and in fact so clean and sober

You suggested me — I cannot believe — it’s not nearly over

All letdowns wear off in time and fade eventually

Was it ignorance, which hollowed out my strength — meaningless and empty?

Trust without a doubt that’s what pulled me down and now it offends me

Treacherously, it seems to me so slippery in my eyes

Finally I can see so differently through my eyes

What enticed my mind — made me numb and blind — left me weak and broken?

I will not fulfill what you expect from me — this game is not nearly over

Used me, choked me, but never broke me

Shook me, disgraced me — never break me … now

You leave me now … alone I realize it’s different through my eyes …

What enticed my mind made me numb and blind

Left me weak and broken?

I will not fulfill what you expect from me

This game is not nearly over
