Waves they crash on me
Heavy enough to drown the sea
Everyday a new set of eyes
To stare at my gold and my lies
Your secret's not as safe as it seems
These castles hoard many broken dreams
God only knows how many more will hold
Before the cracks start to form and shatter this glass bowl
For my time you'll pay an awful price
That's ten thousand lakes to make me turn away
Trade me the skies for any of my smiles
That's one diamond ring to make me sing
Some say they "don't mean to pry"
But who and whose secrets do you hide
These eyes contain the rages of the sea
And you can't afford all that they've seen
For my time you'll pay an ugly price
That's ten thousand lakes to make me turn away
Trade me the skies for any of my smiles
That's one diamond ring to make me sing
When the eyes go home
The secrets they unfold
And the water turns to sand
And runs right through my hands
No time is bought or sold
And the price is for my soul
And tomorrow's gold
Will never make me whole
