lyrics

These wounds have been festering for a long time
We’re living in the adolescent fantasies of men with skin like mine
The cuts were never cleaned, the pain ignored
And if there’s time to heal now
Things can’t be like they were before

Look into my eyes
And tell me that I’m wrong
You and I can weather the storm

I was driving down the freeway
It was a cold December day
The bumper of the chevrolet in front of me
Was loaded with things to say
Cards on the table now, I wish he’d fold
The stakes have been raised
That hand has been played
The bluff has been exposed

Look into my eyes
And tell me that I’m wrong
You and I can weather the storm

Some days I think that I can see
A ray of sunshine pierce through the sky
Have we broken through to the other side
Or are we standing in the eye?
