Lost your head Now you sleep on the floor What you said I don't want any more. Through the haze Make your eyes undulate Out in space Days (Daze) away... Through these eyes I rely on all I see Obscured Through these eyes Looks like I'm home tonight Left for dead As you sleep on the floor Things we said We don't mean anymore. Tear inside Like a fallen kite. Hey hey yeah... Through these eyes I deny (on) all I see Obscured Through these eyes Looks like I'm home tonight What she said Made a mess of me What you said I don't want. Obscured comments?
