Empty Stare from Undiscovered by Real Eyes

EMPTY STARE
(Bolter/Bell)

You know I knew I would find you here
Tripping over the same old tears
There with your puppet smile
With one eye on the puppet maker’s child

So much that you’re made of now
Someone must get through to you somehow
For your light is fading
And you seem to think some success your making

How Long? How long must you go your way?
How many more will you lead astray?
How much further ‘til you get to glare
Alone at your table with your full glass and your empty stare

Opportunist with an evil mind
Living high on other people’s time
All you’ve given you expect in return
No prize for the future a surprise for the kids to learn

Eloquent sermon with a shallow line
So many syllables, so little time
Nothing ventured is nothing gained
All causes looked plundered yet nothing is rearranged
