Cassandra (Acoustic)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to see the future and now I see nothing They cut out my eyes and sent me home packing To pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration Crying like Cassandra, I Used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue And left me doing laundry to think on what I'd done It wasn't me, it was the song [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 And every song I thought I knew, I've been deafened to And there's no one left to sing to [Verse 3] And all the gods have been domesticated And Heaven is now overrated And the churches, they all closed their doors Well, 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 [Chorus] 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 And every song I thought I knew, I've been deafened to And there's no one left to sing to [Bridge] (Ooh) (Ooh) (Ooh, oh) Take me back (Ooh) Oh, drunken gods of slaughter (Ooh) You know I've always been your favourite daughter (Ooh, oh) [Chorus] Well, can you see me? I cannot see you And everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view In this blindness I'm condemned to And if I run fast enough Well, could I break apart As empires crumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart?
