What I See

(album: Damaged - 1981)

This feeling haunts me.
Behind these eyes
The shell seems so empty.
Though I wonder if anything lives inside?

I want to live
I wish I was dead

My heart aches to bleed.
I'm cheated from what I see.
Freedom holds a double-edge for me.
I look in your eyes and see...

I want to live.
I wish I was dead.

I don't want to think.
I'm stuck here and I know it.
I don't want to see.
Make me close my eyes.

I want to live.
I wish I was dead.

Life's cold.
Every thing's inside.
I need to feel,
But turn my mind off.
The desperation begins.
From the start I see the end.
Not right, I'm not right, you're not right.
I've got to close my eyes.

I look in your eyes
And see its always this way.
Live the lie and take a dive
Just to make it die.

I want to live.
I wish I was dead.
I've just got to close my eyes.
I've got to close my eyes.
I've got to close my eyes.
