lyrics

Child Eyes

I stare with child eyes
Eyes wide shot
Looking at the sunset
Colored skies
And beating heart
I face life and they smile

I need to know so much
But a part of me stops
At the gates of dawn
I don’t always dare to speak my truth

I’m burning in your sun
I taste you with my tongue
I’m wrapped around your crown
Your memory keeps me warm

I hug you
I smell you
I curse you
I eat you up
I grab you
I love you
I bite you
Destroy you
And then I destroy you again

Don’t be afraid to emancipate your soul
I’m just a child who can’t be reached
watching the others play

Too much to drink
Too much to think
I’ll be the clown on a bench
Got no past...
Only deep blue eyes
