Back of My Eyes

Марина Преснякова
Walking through evermore
Have I seen you before?
Have I told you how utterly little I know?

Have I told you I am God?
That I made me from mud?
Did I tell you it happened a long time ago?

You look angry and sore.
Have I seen you before?
Have I told you I don't
Really care anymore?

On the count of the three
Would you like me to be
What you think I should be
When you think of me now?

Why are you on the floor?
You are gasping for air.
There is a smile on your face
That shouldn't be there.

Have you seen me before?
Do you really care?
Does it matter now:
'Royal Flash' or a 'Pair'?

And if I should forget,
And if I should remember,
And if I loose this bat,
And if June is December...

Far away from the dirt
And away from the lies,
Take me back to the world
…in the back of my eyes.

You are in my world now.
