Cassandra

[00:15.23] I used to see the future and now I see nothing
[00:19.44] They cut out my eyes and sent me home packing
[00:23.64] To pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration
[00:28.21] Crying like Cassandra, I
[00:32.26] Used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue
[00:36.08] And left me doing laundry to think in what I've done
[00:39.67] It wasn't me, it was the song
[00:49.89] I used to move into the future, bring it all back
[00:54.37] Let it bleed through my fingers, a treasure in my hands
[00:58.65] Now I creep out when there's no one about
[01:02.98] 'Cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep me out
[01:07.34] The garden's overgrown
[01:13.42] And I run in the middle of the road (ooh)
[01:23.02] Well, can you see me? I cannot see you
[01:30.98] Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
[01:35.97] In this blindness I'm condemned to
[01:39.44] Well, can you hear me? I cannot hear you
[01:47.06] Every song I thought I knew, I've been deafened to
[01:52.05] And there's no one left to sing to
[01:55.92]
[02:04.04] All the gods have been domesticated
[02:08.80] And Heaven is now overrated
[02:12.56] And the churches, they all closed their doors
[02:16.11] But you can take your complaints straight to the Lord
[02:19.67] I try to still look with wonder on the world
[02:23.83] As the roses bloom
[02:26.99] And the riot van still plainly in view
[02:36.31] Well, can you see me? I cannot see you
[02:44.24] Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
[02:49.12] In this blindness I'm condemned to
[02:52.71] Well, can you hear me? I cannot hear you
[03:00.56] Every song I thought I knew, I've been deafened to
[03:05.26] And there's no one left to sing to
[03:10.75] Ooh-ooh-ooh
[03:14.22] Ooh-ooh-ooh
[03:17.88] Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
[03:26.22] Take me back
[03:29.79] Oh, drunken gods of slaughter
[03:34.03] You know I've always been your
[03:37.92] Favorite daughter
[03:41.97] Well, can you see me? I cannot see you
[03:48.99] Everything I thought I knew is falling out of view
[03:57.60] And if I run fast enough, could I break apart
[04:05.31] As empires crumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart?
[04:11.66]
