Gurdjieff's Daughter Lyrics

If they don themselves with crystals to make them look sharp
Sleep with their hand on a pistol, but they're afraid of the dark
Well if it wakes you, which it has been known to
Don't be alarmed, darkness can't do you harm
Fear will hurt you

Outside the wind is beating a tree to a bend
Don't fear that it might be meeting some untimely end
If they do what they're supposed, as they have been known to
Stand strong and tall, weather it all
Take what you can

Never give orders, just to be obeyed
Never consider yourself or others without knowing that you'll change
May not surprise, but pride has been known to
Rise up a storm, countless lives lost
At the hands of pride unformed

Who'll weep for them? Sometimes I do, I do sometimes
Who weeps for them? Sometimes I do, I do sometimes
You can't see it? Might be behind you
Keep your eyes wide
You can't see it? Might be behind you
Keep those eyes wide

Don't be impressed by strong personalities
Sincere words are rarely sickly sweet
But if they fool you, which they have been known to
Don't lose your sight, know something's not right
And look at the stars

Be wary of being given a name
If for some reason, you're not the considered the same
Once they name you, they have been known to
Lock you in, statistical sin
They'd rather ignore

Who'll weep for them? Sometimes I do, I do sometimes
Who weeps for them? Sometimes I do, I do sometimes
You can't see it? Might be behind you
Keep your eyes wide
You can't see it? Might be behind you
Keep those eyes wide

Keep your eyes on the back of your
Keep your eyes on the back of your
Keep your eyes on the back of your
Keep your eyes on the back of your mind

I think it's "You can't see it, might be behind you"

Also, "Who'll weep for them? Sometimes I do" (not "wait")

@Browns0286 yeah it's what you said
