All Eyes

lyrics

I heard you so loud, in the vacuum of the scream was a city on fire - its streets as white as teeth. Our car had broken down so we took the taxi into town. The neon burning your kiss into my mouth. All my seeds had been sown. All my cards had been dealt.

At your bedside, morning’s yellow cotton rags stained the bed sheets on the empty bed. So say it out loud - say it once more for old times. Your lips burning with those cotton candy lines. Either way you’ve sold out and you’re suddenly all eyes to see it coming.

The seas will rise. God will take her place, and the singers - all bad liars - will heave to bass that blows your eardrums out and leaves without a trace, in the midst of your biggest doubt. Now you’re so loud

You’ve got lots to say now, as his hands run up your thighs, and this golden idol cow runs off into the night. So take the stage, girl. See if you can make me believe, with your lips dyed red and your chattering white teeth. You’ve been long gone for a long time

And you’re suddenly all eyes. Deep and singing eyes opening up like a gate to the seething skies, and as the words come out, your head is heaving like the sea. The waves break on me. The waves break on me. So see it coming.

The seas will rise. God will take her place, and the singers - all bad liars - will heave to bass that blows your eardrums out and leaves without a trace, in the midst of your biggest doubt you see your paper skin cut clean again.

And the waves are rising up. You’re finally on your knees. The waves are rising up and it sounds like harmony. When we’re burned to a single cell, the air has room to breath, in the midst of your biggest doubt. Now you’re all eyes.

Now you’re all eyes.
