The Roommate - Soft Eyes Lyrics

I played and played and played and played and played
And I played and played and played and played and played

Fireflies under the water
16 years in the sun
Skin cracked and boiling
Wait for my letter

Starfires under the water
3000 nights in the cold
Shivering half-dreams of terrified godheads
And souls trapped in amber

I prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed
And I prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed

White flags into the slaughter
5 or more lifetimes locked in a cell
Poems and christmas cards, greetings from desperate meetings
"Stay strong
Keep on keepin' on
Take care
Hope you are well"

I paid and paid and paid and paid and paid
And I paid and paid and paid and paid and paid

Soft eyes under the water
One sickly flame in the dark
Can there be hope when there are no more illusions?
Can a candle burn bright enough to bring back vision?
Bring back my vision
Take me from my mission
Make me someone good
