A Clean Pair of Eyes

Hear me, God, I'm on the level
Mapping silence, seeing things
Crying, laughing like the devil

Before the might of all that's seen
I raise my head and wake to dream
With a clean pair of eyes

Murdered gold and colours splashing
Time like blood, like flowing hair
Faces merging, airplanes crashing

Before the might of all that's true
I raise my head and dream anew
With a clean pair of eyes

A clean pair of eyes
Don't need no one to blame
Don't need no disguise
No sugar to sweet my brain
A clean pair of eyes

Today I need no commentary
Today I do not need to speak
No explanation necessary

Before the might of all that's seen
I'll raise my head and dream again
With a clean pair of eyes

A clean pair of eyes
Don't need no right or wrong
Don't need no disguise
No sugar to fix my tongue
A clean pair of eyes

Liquid air and flags that ripple
A tamborine of smoking suns
Love that blinds us, fear that cripples

Before the might of all that's seen
I raise my head and wake to dream
Before the might of all that's true
I raise my head and dream anew
Before the might of all unnamed
I'll raise my head and dream again

Dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Dream
