Scout

Scrub the eye awake from the slumber
Cut the line or you’ll get carried undertow
I didn’t ask for any of this life

Half the time they barely recognize me
Half a mind to see what is in front of me
Open up the world
See what’s outside

Your eyes sparkle in the night
I was afraid to say so
I try with all my might
I can’t break the shadow

They say it seems like you’re doing just fine there
Cutting corners on an avenue to nowhere
I never wanted you to feel like you weren’t there

Down below I feel the current getting stronger
Another corner I can’t take it any longer
Get to the point of it, when’s it all over

Your eyes sparkle in the night
I was afraid to say so
I try with all my might
I can’t break the shadow

I’m searching for something in my life that’s right
And through the disappointment I know I’ll be fine
I’m searching for something in my life that’s right
And through the disappointment I know I’ll be fine
