Cassandra Lyrics

I used to see the future and now I see nothin
They cut out my eyes and sent me home packing
To pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration
Crying like cassandra, I
Used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue
And left me doing laundry to thinkin’ what I’ve done
It wasn’t me, it was the song

I used to move into the future, bring it all back
Let it bleed through my fingers, a treasure in my hands
Not .. When there’s no one about
Cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep me out
With gardеns of the grove
And I run in the middlе of the road (ooh)

Well, can you see me? I cannot see you
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
In this blindness I’m condemned to
Well, can you hear me? I cannot hear you
Every song I thought I knew, I’ve been deafened to
And there’s no one left to sing to

All the gods have been domesticated
And heaven is now overrated
And the churches, they all closed their doors
But you can take your complaints straight to the lord
I try to still look where they wander on the work
As the roses bloom
And the riot plants, they play me and you

Well, can you see me? I cannot see you
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
In this blindness that I’m condemned to
Well, can you hear me? I cannot hear you
Every song I thought I knew, I’ve been deafened to
And there’s no one left to sing to

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh (take me back)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (ooh, the drunken gods oversee me)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (I must be their favourite daughter)

Well, can you see me? I cannot see you
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
And if I run fast and back, could I break apart
As empires tumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart?
