Man Inside The Eye

Cold little man
Staring out the glass
Spying in
Looking past
Insomniac scheme
X-rays my mask
Sees what I hide
What I don't ask

Lessons earned
Bridges burned
Where I've gone
Tides I've turned
He sees them all
In their turn
Weighing my life
Inside the eye

Things He sees
When looking out
Things I do
That make me shout
Things I wish
I'd forget somehow
Things he does
I can't live without

Lessons earned
Bridges burned
Where I've gone
Tides I've turned
He sees them all
In their turn
Weighing my life
Inside the eye

Can't look away
Can't turn 'round
When I'm alive
When I'm down
Can't close a curtain
Can't turn it down
When I'm awake
When I'm drowned

Lessons earned
Bridges burned
Where I've gone
Tides I've turned
He sees them all
In their turn
Weighing my life
Inside the eye

Looking out
Looking in
New leaf turned
Done it again
Call it good
Call it sin
Change his mind
Change it again

Lessons earned
Bridges burned
Where I've gone
Tides I've turned
He sees them all
In their turn
Weighing my life
Inside the eye

Cold little man
Staring out the glass
Spying in
Looking past
Insomniac scheme
X-rays my mask
Am I an angel
Am I an ass

Lessons earned
Bridges burned
Where I've gone
Tides I've turned
My conscience sees them all
In their turn
Guiding my life
Like he's inside the eye of God
