David Hodgman - Kid's Eyes Lyrics

I wish there was something I could take to make it stop
A bitter pill just so I could ignore an alarm clock
I wish there was something you would say to drown us out
Words they get away and leave me feeling like I'm shrouded in doubt
I'm hoping there's a book I might find that could fix me in a couple of lines
Give me a whole new view and widen my eyes like a kid's eyes might light up
Like a spotlight I might shine to decipher and decide what's what
To figure out what's mine every ocean in my way I will part

There's nothing like a bleeding heart to make you feel like living's an art
A form you'll never get so you might as well quit before it gets worse
Sometimes you have to live with the curse, you can't expect to be lifted out
From underneath the water with a weight around your waist you are lost now
Don't be scared, your mission now is to be prepared for all the time that you'll spend impaired
By the whiskey and white lines as you're trying to repair your kid's eyes please light up
No fear that you don't have enough or shame if you have to give it up
Burn out these tired eyes and trade them for a pair of kid's eyes that light up, kid's eyes that light up

My kid's eyes won't light up anymore
My kid's eyes won't light up anymore
My kid's eyes won't light up
My kid's eyes won't light up
