An Eye for an Eye for an Eye by The Sea Within Lyrics

It's in the status you once built
Or what it seeks to be
Oh, let's agree to disagree
We'll give eye for an eye for an eye

Though doomed to fail, you place your bet
You never know what you might get
You've done this a thousand times before
So open the same door once more

Cutting the flesh off your bones
Then find a new home once it's gone
The love we need for wounds to heal
Get off your streets, the test is real

Less than a day, that's all you've got
To set your sail and slam doors shut
Oh how I hate to see you go
But you'll open the same door once more

Less than a day, that's all you've got
So baby, run- no, please don't stop
Into my arms, and don't you cry, no
You give eye for an eye for an eye
Don't you hate the people that you meet?
The way they look at you?
Every one judges, that's not new
You keep walking the streets late at night

Against the grain, but not quite true
So make-up covers your tattoos
You hate your job from noon to nine
Pay for college and buy some good times

Ripping the flesh off your bones
Finding your hope once it's gone
Then all we need for wounds to heal
Get off your streets, the test is real

Less than a day...

Less than a day, that's all we need
Let's see if, somehow, ends can meet
Then with freedom in your heart, you lie
And the facts fall apart

Less than a day, that's all you've got
So pack your bags and slam doors shut
Less than a day, that was my goal
Your kisses cannot save my soul
