Iceage - Glassy Eyed, Dormant and Veiled lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

The world was once seen burnin' in my eyes

Just as it is in urs now

A hurricane of memories put out the embers that remained

And now I’m gone

Tho' I’m obsolete, ill scold u even in ur dreams

Rise from ur sleep, boy! A myriad of maladies

Incomplete identity! Hunger for the luv I neva gave

(Chorus x2)

Don’t think I did not hear u comin' home, boy

Don’t think I did not hear u comin' home, last night

I am an absent father

Glassy eyed, drunken and veiled

(Verse 2)

Father, can u hear me

My head is poundin' like the wagons on a freight train

The wheels are poorly fastened and they threaten to drive off the tracks

Lead by ur eva present voice

I'm gonna take this fall for us

A myriad of maladies

Incomplete identity

Hunger for the luv u neva gave

(Chorus x2)

(Bridge)

I’ve got nations blamin' me for the passing of their children

I’ve been draggin' ships across dry land

To fill the hole u emptied

Somewhere in u there is somethin' belongin' to me

And I don’t know how to retrieve

(Chorus x2)
