Eyes Open:

come on let me tell you how it used to be

when the road was wider and the path not steep

and the angels had their eyes on my steps

and every choice was something more than a just guess

old in a land that never sees the sun

caught beside the gods of wish and want

between the space of cement and clouds

my body's lying with them tied and bound

as the hour approaches

i see all of the reasons

why i left my eyes open

when i wish they would close

and these things won't change tonight

no matter plan no matter what's right

because i've seen their faces

and i know they can't escape

maybe when the days were not so short

maybe when nights not slow and warm

maybe we could find a way to start

a fire that would burn our hearts to better form

now we’re putting flowers on the sides of their graves

we’re going to make sure we don’t repeat their mistakes

of the ones who gave their lives through their veins

I'm growing older with their blood on my face

as the hour approaches

i see all of the reasons

why i left my eyes open

when i wish they would close

and these things won't change tonight

no matter plan no matter what's right

because i've seen their faces

and i know they can't escape

Metro Silicon Valley plugs the show in Agenda's Cellar tonight: www.metroactive.com/clubs

here's an excerpt:
"Dave and Joe Rose's vocals, tinged with a bit of Brit sneer, sometimes
get swallowed up in the general fuzz zone, but they always fight back."
