Jaundiced Eye

God gave me a jaundiced eye  
To see the world burn  
A leper left to die  
In shadows I turn  
   
Lost to emotional stress  
I'm feeling it  
God gave me a jaundiced eye  
to see that you are blind  
   
(Chorus)  
A freak is left to his home  
Dope and alcohol in my bones  
Before I die I'll see your eyes  
Set free from this time  
we could leave this fucking world  
if there was courage instead of fear  
   
(repeat verse one)  
(repeat chorus)  
   
What you meant  
to take from me  
what you meant    
to take from me  
what you meant    
to take from me  
is gone because it wasn't meant to be
