lyrics

Put your eyes to the mirror
Now, who could that be?
Who's torn out the pages
From the books that you read?

You took all you wanted.
Did you take what you need?
Did you leave some for others?
Because there's others in need

There are prophets among us
That we don't need to see
And though they stand among us,
They come, they come,
With no guarantees

So, you line up your profits
And plant your little seed
And you claim it's an honest
Living you need

You line up before us
Do we look good on our knees?
As you're making a promise,
It's certainly not, nor never guaranteed

Eye for an eye was all that I could see
I was advised that all advice was free
Never guaranteed

Put your eyes to the mirror
Now who could that be?
Making claims like a prophet
For all the troubles we breed

Put a light on the pages
For they're getting hard to read
When the words blow away
They come, they come with no guarantees

Eye for an eye was all that I could see
I was advised that all advice was free, but never guaranteed

The Color Forty Nine San Diego, California

Collectively, they have been members of bands such as the Black Heart Procession, the Album Leaf, and Maquiladora.
