[Verse 1]
You were hungry for light
Then you took mine
Left me so hollow
And I was eager to please
And gave you all of me
For what, I will never know

[Chorus]
Well, I'll rest my eyes
And I'll let the earth breathe
And I'll bide my time
I'll let the earth breathe

[Verse 2]
Wipe the smile from our face
Our saving grace
Our lasting passion
And with a knife in our soul
We will arise
We will not feel it

[Chorus]
Well, I'll rest my eyes
And I'll let the earth breathe
And I'll bide my time
I'll let the earth breathe
[Bridge]
Well, it's all I have
And it makes me feel at home
And I must be mad
And I must not care at all

Well, I wipe my eyes
And I feel it taking hold
'Cause it left me here
And it left me all alone

[Chorus]
Well, I'll rest my eyes
I'll let the earth breathe
And I'll bide my time
I'll let the earth breathe

Well, I'll rest my eyes
I'll let the earth breathe
And I'll bide my time
I'll let the earth breathe
