Nis Bysted - Gla**y Eyed, Dormant and Veiled lyrics

The world was once seen burning in my eyes Just as it is in yours now A hurricane of memories put out the embers that remained And now I'm gone Though I'm obsolete, ill scold you even in your dreams Rise from your sleep, boy A myriad of maladies Incomplete identity Hunger for the love you never gave [Chorus x 2] Don't think I did not hear you coming home, boy Don't think I did not hear you coming home, last night I am an absent father Gla**y eyed, drunken and veiled Father, can you hear me My head is pounding like the wagons on a freight train The wheels are poorly fastened and they threaten to drive off the tracks Lead by your ever present voice I'm gonna take this fall for us A myriad of maladies Incomplete identity Hunger for the love you never gave [Chorus x 2] Don't think I did not hear you coming home, boy Don't think I did not hear coming home, last night I am an absent father Gla**y eyed, drunken and veiled I've got nations blaming me for the pa**ings of their children I've been dragging ships across dry land To fill the hole you emptied Somewhere in you there is something belonging to me And i don't know how to retrieve [Chorus] Don't think I did not hear you coming home, boy Don't think I did not hear you coming home, last night I am an absent father Gla**y eyed, dormant and veiled
