Irish Eyes - Senses Fail

My Irish eyes look out at the Atlantic

I think I drink enough to probably drain it

Then I could walk to Spain through valleys that were once full

And face each day like a ballet with a bull

The storm hangs like an axe over my head

The longer I wait the more it spreads

Like wildfire through the hills of confidence

The sun shines but there’s sirens in my head

Stars remind me that

Light shines from the past

I’m so afraid that I’ll have to face myself

Even though I know that self reflection helps

It’s so easy to judge everyone but yourself

I push away any good thing that I’ve felt

I’ve got to lose it all if I want anything

I’ve got to lose it all if I want to be free

I’ve got to lose it all if I want anything

I’ve got to lose it all if I want to be free

Free

I face each day with a grain of sand

I cannot lose what I’ve never had

Stars remind me that

Light shines from the past
