Tundra - The Monocles

Give me new eyes

So I can see again

My own vision

I can’t see through the ice

It gives no shape

The reflection is vague

This place is vacant

Just a hollow shell

Even with me

It’s just a blurry fade

It’s just a blurry fade

It’s just a blurry fade

This hole of desolate sunshine needs a little more air

Maybe fresh tracks in the snow will help it breathe

I still can’t see past the fog in the glacier

Why am I stuck here;

is it human nature?

Give me new eyes

I can’t see through the ice

It’s all monochromatic and plain

It’s just a blurry fade

I hear howls in the wind

And cracks beneath my feet

All signs of an empty scene

No thank you to me

For the solitude

That I don’t need

And I’ll never forget

What she said I would see

If I were to leave

An unknown burial ground

And here, you will freeze

Give me new eyes

I can’t see through the ice

It’s all monochromatic and plain

It’s just a blurry fade
