Cataracts

Lyrics

Cut these thorns and kick these stones Keep those birds at bay Plant deep and dark, and help my heart Receive the words you say The words you say Receive the words you say Receive the words you say Are somehow lost on me They die on deafened ears When you open up your mouth to speak I hear but I can't hear The words you say Hear the words you say Hear the words you say I can't hear the words you say Hear the words you say Pin me down, and take away This heart of stone Wind and sound awake my old dry bones Cut these thorns and kick these stones Keep those birds at bay Plant deep and dark, and help my heart Perceive the light of day I stumble through a darkened vale With a veil cast over me And cataracts, all is black Oh, I see but I can't see The light of day See the light of day See the light of day I can't see the light of day See the light of day I'll fight or run to keep from going under the knife Don't let me slip away Though the blade is sharp, I know you're saving my life Don't let me slip away Pin me down, and take away This heart of stone Wind and sound awake my old dry bones
