Blinders Off Lyrics by Deadleaf Mantis

Horse Tears

2018

Ive never seen anything clearer
Swimming in the red rivers of sclera
Locked in your sight
Lost in your eyes
As I’m drowning in the waves of the iris

I tend to black out more since I moved out on my own
The only time when this house feels like a home
But I’m never alone no matter where the wild things roam
And I still have it all including the world in my palm
Enough monkeying around
In the trees is where I belong
Its not a single thing thats wrong
Its everything
Wishing my mind could speak
Instead my brain just leaks
Porous from all the psychedelic treats
Pour us something to drink
Give me something to think
Someone to be
These lessons don’t come free
A broken flat rate fee
Not including the cost of living
Live, don’t die with regret
Don’t doubt the debt
Or the master scar left on your Discover card
Now you’re lost in the bloom
Tearing off your last minute costume
You never should have worn
Stepping over your donated organs on the floor
Continuously knocking on the back of purgatory’s front door
Wondering if theres anything more

Ive never seen anything clearer
Swimming in the red rivers of sclera
Locked in your sight
Lost in your eyes
As I’m drowning in the waves of the iris

Im having trouble landing
After 12 hours off planet
My parents ask where I’m headed and if ill be back
Like I planned it
I try to explain that navigation is long term for an extraterrestrial
Without signs of direction all of my landmarks are celestial
And this could be a God complex
But theres nothing complex about it
I spent 24 years being humble
My ego is hungry and my restraint just retired
Tried to keep my mouth shut
Heard “I’m not racist, but” and my patience expired
A nation who feels a right to complacency
As long as Ive got apps I don’t care if my phone is tapped
But you can’t look me in the eyes and tell me what you see
Every blank stare is a prisoner of belief not yet set free
Now I swim through the cosmos
And the darkness looks back
As a thousand iris’s illuminate the black
Lost cosmonauts that took different paths
The only direction thats clear
Is that we’re not going back

Ive never seen anything clearer
Swimming in the red rivers of sclera
Locked in your sight
Lost in your eyes
As I’m drowning in the waves of the iris
