Eye to eye

I know the things that you're thinking
And I know them all very well
While you watch the burning ship sinking
And I'll have it all to tell

Gonna leave it to you

One two three were the things that I wanted
And books of empty verse were the things that I got
How can you wonder why I feel disgruntled?
After all those years to be left with naught

When do you think enough's enough?
You can't spread love with a cough

Eye to eye and failure comes my way
Seems I've been let down another day
Eye to eye when all is said and done
Where were you when I was on my own?
