I Need New Eyes

Lyrics for I Need New Eyes

I spend decades going about how nothing doesn't change Slow tattooing the word impermanence all across my face I lived examples I found words to say it yet another way Death and birth Changing weather And romance blown away I just wanted to say something true And complicate my youth But now a new idea complicates my old age It's that nothing arises in the first place All this impermanence is just another thing my mind made I would never hear And nothing goes away In mystical ignorance, I've prioritized joy I chose to see this and not that I laid in the tall grass I just watched the breaths fall and rise while this life goes by And the constant catastrophes pound on the wall And who isn't my neighbor on this flaming globe Now I'm starting at a boulder trying to tell myself This didn't arise I need new eyes
