It’s hard being silent to keep the peace
When certain maggots know that they’re out of reach
But when the meat is gone, at the end of the day
We can watch the maggots wither away.
We can watch the maggots wither away.

Windhaven’s cover of Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” was completed on June 30, 2010.

Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
