1000 Yard Stare

SOUNDCLOUD >>> 1000 Yard Stare

Don’t let the world come crashing down around me
Don’t let the earth move beneath my feet
Don’t let the storms fill my faint horizons

It’s all that’s been left for me, left for me to see

The vacancy you believe you perceive in my eyes
Is more akin to a soldier trapped in behind enemy lines
Forced to observe horrors beyond the pale
Merely to survive
I know the snipers lurk on distant horizons
So that’s where I set my sights

I love the clouds playing in the sky
I love the way the sun smiles and shines
I love the wind blowing through the grass
I love how slowly the time goes past
I love the harmonies everywhere
I love the colored glass in the air
I love the world outside of my room
I love the feeling of loving you
