Oh, the victims of the eye

That shines a spotlight right on you

And pour you into discomfort

That drips slow as blood

Down the split lip

Out and about the world to see

The world to victimize it

And tell the other worlds what it sees

And spread the word

Like soil with a seed beneath

Hiding till it's grown and strong

Words dig me up

Cuckooning underneath the earth

To grow in secret privacy

So I make them all

Victims of my pen

Oh, the eyes water

My garden of confidence

As they shoot me with blinding focus

Risen and shining

Bright and born

I feel as a victim

When their eyes cast bright shadows

Risen and shining

Bright and born
