Glassy Eyed, Dormant and Veiled |
| The world was once seen burning in my eyes |
| Just as it is in yours now |
| A hurricane of memories put out the embers that remained |
| And now I’m gone |
| Though I’m obsolete, I’ll scold you even in your dreams |
| Rise from your sleep, boy |
| A myriad of maladies |
| Incomplete identity |
| Hunger for the love you never gave |
| Don’t think I did not hear you coming home, boy |
| Don’t think I did not hear you coming home, last night |
| I am an absent father |
| Glassy eyed, drunken and veiled |
| Father, can you hear me |
| My head is pounding like the wagons on a freight train |
| The wheels are poorly fastened and they threaten to drive off the tracks |
| Lead by your ever present voice |
| I’m gonna take this fall for us |
| A myriad of maladies |
| Incomplete identity |
| Hunger for the love you never gave |
| Don’t think I did not hear you coming home, boy |
| Don’t think I did not hear coming home, last night |
| I am an absent father |
| Glassy eyed, drunken and veiled |
| I’ve got nations blaming me for the passings of their children |
| I’ve been dragging ships across dry land |
| To fill the hole you emptied |
| Somewhere in you there is something belonging to me |
| And i don’t know how to retrieve |
| Don’t think I did not hear you coming home, boy |
| Don’t think I did not hear you coming home, last night |
| I am an absent father |
| Glassy eyed, dormant and veiled |
