Plastic Eyes

So you've seen all the glassy windows, steel structures under plastic skies
And plastic eyes watch you exit the building and walk on down the painted ground
But you're falling down and you remember when the world around you was green
And dirt was clean and there were no plastic eyes
There were no plastic skies to hold you down

Twisted like a corkscrew, mountains fall and cities rise
Time comes and I don't care, searching for signs of life in your eyes, in your eyes
Naked as a newborn baby you could climb the wall and go outside
When there was an outside
Now I'm a prisoner to what I helped create in your eyes, in your eyes
But you can't seem to do without

Now you walk under paper sunsets, screens of time under your hand
And god is man and you wish for the moonbeams
And dreams of strings that held you in your past
You can't make it last, make it last
And you remember when time was just for fools
And nobody cared about...
Nobody cared

Mangled cries of motors, this world is fucked just lay me down
Feeling like a no-good number, a speck upon a speck in your time
But what is that, what is that my friend
Street cleaner whisk on by, cast out the earth that we betray
Sleep under trees of steel and grip the wheel
That grinds out your mind, grinds out your mind
But you but you just can't seem to do without

Twisted like a corkscrew, mountains fall and cities rise
Time goes and I don't care, searching for signs of life in your eyes
In your eyes
Brand me noble savage
Numb-minded world gonna watch me die
Through plastic eyes
Now I'm a prisoner to what I helped conceive in my mind
In my mind
But you can't seem to get enough
