lyrics

I was busy staring a hole
in the page of a paperback
Nothing is making much sense to me anymore
There are things I can't understand
About myself or anyone else
And I've never been to this
part of the story before

I'm seeing the world through a dead man's eyes
I'm seeing the world through a dead man's eyes

I got all of the parts and the pieces
right here in front of me
But I can't put them together
They all fall apart
And there are things I can't understand
about my fear, my pain, and my pride
I don't know where to begin
I don't know where to start

I'm seeing the world through a dead man's eyes
I'm seeing the world through a dead man's eyes

I was busy staring a hole
in the note that you wrote to me,
envisioning every barb I could hurl in reply
There are things I can't understand
about myself and who I want to be
If you've got anything left to say
go ahead, let it fly
