Roadside Lyrics by Shy Birds

Morning Approaches

2017

Blank eyes that stare me through the most
Blank mind that still seems full of hope
Blank eyes that stare me through the most
Blank mind that still seems full of
Left to it's own devices
No machine, no leverage
Left lying faded in the sun
Skin parched for marks
Spine come undone
Blank eyes that stare me through the most
Blank mind that still seems full of hope
Blank eyes that stare me through the most
Blank mind that still seems full of
Frigid air of silence biting
Ragged edge
Not much left worth
A "worse for wear"
A body lying struck down
Left aware
A body left aware, left aware
And so I grabbed a
Hold of his skull and I pulled
And I screamed in
All of the words that
I'd been taught over the years
Now my voice is gone
And so I grabbed a
Hold of his skull and I pulled
And I screamed in
All of the words that
I'd been taught over the years
Now my voice is gone
Oh, roaming traveler
Dead on the road away from home
Your spirit escaped
From the rib-cage where you kept her
To fly
Prematurely to the light
It’s not your time
I’ll speak you back to life
As dendrites clasp hands with axons
Cannon shot synapses fire at will
I will transfer my essence
Through astral projections
Of self through the void of your skull
A reanimate being
Somnambulant vessel of flesh
I command you to rise, Lazarus, rise
Get to your feet, open your eyes
Open your eyes
The blank eyes I'd seen took on a familiar glimmer
And as I passed out with the dirt in my eyes
The traveler began to stand
Blank eyes that stare you through the most
Blank mind that still seems full of hope
My blank eyes stare you through the most
My blank eyes stare you through
(Yes! I did that right!)
