their eyes are all sewn closed

The god sighs low as he looks round

The ignorant dandies prancing to and fro

Laughing like monsters

The daughter hides beneath the world

Stealing whispers softly and cringing loud

Their eyes are all sewn shut

And even the best of them will never see her, see her

How long can she stare before her eyes begin to bleed

Her eyes are always burning

if you only knew the plans they had for us

sh' ees fallin up
guards her prey like mary
TRACKMARKED amoeba lands craft

take your child away take you child away
keep fallin up e meglio di fallin away

what is the difference
is there a significant change in this wasted passion
this wasted life, this wasted girl.

give me a minor 3rd and someone to play it
but take it all away first and let us
baste in our tragedy

HE IS DESPISED AND REJECTED OF MEN
A MAN OF SORROWS AND ACQUAINTED WITH GRIEF
AND WE HID OUR FACES FROM HIM
HE WAS DESPISED
and we esteemed Him not-
