Five Tears From A Carpenter's Eye For Detail Lyrics - Singles - Kaddisfly

What is it like? What's your defense? 

One of you says... 

Says "look at this glass, it's half empty" 

But one of you says... 

Says "look at this carafe, it is half full" 

Like two nuts in a jar 

That are arguing over their origin 

But we have insight 

To see that they are brothers, born of the same shell 

And cast in there by fate alone 

Still they bicker like strangers 

Fight like old friends 

And I would like to tell them... 

"Hey! Look at you and him" 

Will not the same fate overtake both of you? 

From the soil you came, and to the soil you'll return 

Blast the folly of humans 

If only they could see they could see 

Their shell; still they argue like nuts in a... 

Ja-a-a-a-a-a-ar... 

And look to the lid as they kill, claw, and scream... scream 

Madam officer, Lord or whoever, 

Are we safe? Can you say? 

As they sky shouts back, 

"If you want life back segregate your selfish ways" 

Because currently you're spelling "our lives" 

Without the "R-U-L-E-S" and the "V-O-I" 

O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I... 

To find the rules governing our values of investment in each other 

Simply grab the words and read... 

And I bet you will lose all your need to scream... scream 

Madam officer, Lord or whoever, 

Are we safe? Can you say? 

As they sky shouts back, 

"If you want life back segregate your selfish ways" 

The sunlight on hillsides, our minds make the matter 

As up stairs, we'll climb ethereal ladders 

So inscribe, in stone, a statement of surrender 

(Bye, bye, bye) 

With a quill forged, forged of light 

Madam officer, Lord or whoever, 

Are we safe? Can you say? 

As they sky shouts back, 

"If you want life back segregate your selfish ways" 

Because currently you're spelling "our lives" 

Without the "R-U-L-E-S" and the "V-O-I" 

O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I...
