Thousand Yard Stare Songtext
von Khamsin

What is it that I do?
Carve out with the second hand
Any chance at all
Thousand yard stare
Make myself remember
Make myself forget
Any lasting pleasure of life once lived

It′s so easy to pass myself by
Shouting threats down at the corner
Scribbled sign with all my dogma
Keeps me longing for your encouragement
White flags on my precipice
Hanging high on an agreement

Anything to catch your eye
Anything to get a rise
Anything to pass the time
Everything to catch your eye


What is it that I choose?
A craving for attention
Dark Forests shroud my sight
Thousand yard stare
Build a home up in the Cloud
'Til sensation dulls and blurs
All cascading pleasure of life to live

It′s so easy to pass myself by
Shouting threats down at the corner
Waving hands while going under
Keeps me longing for your encouragement
White flags on my precipice
No new maps to find an exit

Empty coffers, empty wells
Weigh the fear against a spell
Burn the field, neglect reward
It's all in vain, flash and bang
I'd do anything

Anything to catch your eye
Anything to get a rise
Anything to pass the time
Everything to catch your eye
