Lyrics
I used to see the future and now I see nothin' They cut out my eyes and sent me home packin' To pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration Cryin' like Ca**andra, I I used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue And left me doin' laundry to think on what I'd done It wasn't me, it was the song I used to move into the future and bring it all back Let it bleed through my fingers, a treasure in my hands Now I creep out when there's no one about 'Cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep me out The gardеn's overgrown And I run in the middle of thе road (Ooh) Well, can you see me? I cannot see you Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view In this blindness I'm condemned to Well, can you hear me? I cannot hear you Every song I thought I knew, I've been deafened to And there's no one left to sing to All the gods have been domesticated And Heaven is now overrated And the churches, they all closed their doors But you can take your complaints straight to the Lord I try to still look with wonder on the world As the roses bloom And the riot van still plainly in view Well, can you see me? I cannot see you Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view In this blindness that I'm condemned to Well, can you hear me? I cannot hear you Every song I thought I knew, I've been deafened to And there's no one left to sing to (Ooh) (Ooh) (Ooh, oh) Take me back (Ooh, ooh, ooh) Oh, drunken gods of slaughter (Ooh, ooh, ooh) You know I've always been your favourite daughter (Ooh, ooh, ooh) Well, can you see me? I cannot see you Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view And if I run fast enough Could I break apart As empires crumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart?
