The Eyes Above the Mask

from Random Shuffling by Englewood

/

lyrics

I’m walking down the street today.
It’s not just like a normal day.
The sky is thick, it’s very gray,
But not the normal foggy way.
I can’t see the expressions of the people that I pass.
I can only see the eyes above the mask.

There is a silence that’s closing us down,
Making this feel like an old ghost town.
Houses are sealed up to keep out the air.
Neighbors are asking for filters to spare.

My eyes keep burning, angry and raw.
Is this the future we never foresaw?
Is this the future come to pass,
When we can only see the eyes above the mask?

Do you know I’m smiling when I’m passing you by?
Or do you think I’m crying when you see my red eyes?
How can I reach out, or know what to ask,
When I can only see the eyes above the mask?

My eyes keep burning, angry and raw.
Is this the future we never foresaw?
Is this the future come to pass,
When we can only see the eyes above the mask?

So does this portend we’ll expire alone,
Sealed up inside our isolated homes?
I don’t know the answer. I only know
That this is not the way I expected this to go.

My eyes keep burning, angry and raw.
Is this the future we never foresaw?
Is this the future come to pass,
When we can only see the eyes above the mask?

My eyes keep burning, angry and raw.
Is this the future we never foresaw?
Is this the future come to pass,
When we can only see the eyes above the mask?
Only see the eyes above the mask…
