Cataracts - Thrice

Pin me down, and take away this heart of stone

Wind and sound, awake my old dry bones

Cut these thorns and kick these stones, and keep those birds at bay

Plant deep and dark, and help my heart perceive the light of day

I stumble through a darkened vale, with a veil cast over me

And cataracts, all is black.

Oh, I see but I can’t see…

The light of day, see the light of day, see the light of day

Can’t see the light of day, see the light of day

I’ll fight or run to keep from going under the knife;

Don’t let me slip away

Cause though the blade is sharp, I know you’re saving my life;

Don’t let me slip away

Pin me down, and take away this heart of stone

Wind and sound, awake my old dry bones
