Glasses

(May set)

They told me to wear them, so I could see

To teach me to appreciate each line

With no regard for who I was to be

Reanimating machine as divine

 

To teach me to appreciate each line

A clearer world to see, not hear, the lark

Reanimating machine as divine

Yet when the time came, I was left in dark

 

A clearer world to see, not hear, the lark

To draw a line between the earth and sky

Yet when the time came, I was left in dark

As howling winds smudged lines, a whiteout nigh

 

To draw a line between the earth and sky

They told me to wear them, so I could see

As howling winds smudged lines, a whiteout nigh

With no regard for who I was to be.
