Dave Schauss - Material Eyes Lyrics

Look into my eyes
See what I see
It's no surprise
It's no relief
The things that come between us
Haunt my inner soul
Haunted like a child when the lights are low
Scared of the valley below

I wanted silver and gold
I wanted you to let me know

All that glittered held me
A prisoner of its charm
Diamonds and stones possessed me
I was helpless in their arms

I wanted silver and gold
I wanted you to let me know

White city calls to me
It's her that I despise
She blinds me with money
And leaves me with material eyes

My eyes were blurred by an ancient curse
I left the poor to die
I judged their worth by their possessions on earth
But their kingdom is in the sky

I wanted silver and gold
I wanted you to let me know

White city calls to me
It's her that I despise
She blinds me with money
And leaves me with material eyes

I wanted silver and gold
I wanted you to let me know

White city calls to me
It's her that I despise
She blinds me with money
And leaves me with material eyes

Got me on the run
Material eyes got me on the run
Material eyes got me on the run
Material eyes
Tantalized
