lyrics

History’s eyes are on me
It’s knocking at my door
And I can’t even look myself in the goddamn face anymore
And if it’s gonna kill me
I’m already dead
I’m already in the ground
Leave me, put me to bed
History’s eyes are on me
It’s heavy on my mind
It’s getting hard to keep it under control while I wait for the next time
It’s always coming slowly
It’s always getting close
It’s always ready to burrow down deep and feed off the host
I coulda sworn, but it’s nothing
It was here and now it’s gone
I was born, born into something
Something dying all along
History’s eyes are on me
It’s begging on the street
Now I’m thinking I can never wash off that stench of defeat
The moment that you notice
The second that you see
I’ll be standing with arms stretched out saying don’t take them take me take me
