and I hear the stars have fallen
he finally rests his eyes on the contract
he finally laid his eyes on her red dress
he finally lost his eyes in the contrast, the steel rides up again
he finally lays his line on the man
he finally claims his ties on the land
he finally rests his eyes on the contract

he finally lost his eyes in her red dress
he finally lost his eyes in the contract
he slowly runs his eyes through her red dress, the steel rides up again
he finally lays his line on the man
he finally lays his ties on the land
he finally lost his eyes on the contract, to feel the same

and I hear the counselors on his way, to make this cancer change
and I hear the counselors on his way, and I feel I'm tip top and full of shame
I feel the counselors on his way, and I feel the stars will change
and I feel the counselors on his way, to fill the contract fill it with these days
feel the contrast, fill it with these days
with a breath it tenses, with a breath you tense on me
feel the contract a portrait in the light of same
if this is alive, keep me honestly

recognize I'm a man
recognize what I could have been
