You, you’ve got your eyes on me. I said you, you’ve got your eyes on me. I said you, you’ve got your eyes on me. But you don’t see. To begin with we assured ourselves that this was mutual gain. A vision reversed and then reflected to how it was supposed to be. A vow was made, and truth be told here lies the discovery. A falling heart is a breaking heart it looks the same to me. You, you’ve got your eyes on me. I said you, you’ve got your eyes on me. I said you, you’ve got your eyes on me. But you don’t see. You don’t see. Syrup on her lips when she said goodbye. Ghosts under blankets - the remnants of night. Tangled in my sorrows that I’d left behind she was revealed by the light. She was always behind in time. You, you’ve got your eyes on me I said you, you’ve got your eyes on me. I said you, you’ve got your eyes on me, but you don’t see. You, you’ve got your eyes on me. I said you, you’ve got your eyes on me. I said you, you’ve got your eyes on me. But you, you don't see.

You’ll stay fast asleep under these yellow plains. The mountains of your hips will capture water on your skin and keep it there forever. My philosophy is none that you can see. Ignorance is bliss, just blame it on the kids. Flat blue loch washes over me. Damned are these non-magic’s, the water nymphs won’t hold their songs for you. And nor will I, nor will I. Ignorance is bliss, forgetting who you miss. White hairs, on brown skin. Do you ever wonder how this world began?

I’ve seen it all, I’ve seen it all. I’ve felt your heart throb through the walls. The sound come first when the darkness falls. You drift off, let go when it’s safe to fall. But you, you know I feel weak but the strength you give to me. When you open your eyes to me girl, you’ll open your eyes to me. And I’ll open my eyes to you. I’ve heard it all, I’ve heard it all. These senses break from truth most of all. The thickest blood builds the hardest wars But the journey lends giraffes wisdom. But you, you know I feel weak. But the strength you give to me when you open your eyes to me girl, you’ll open your eyes to me, girl. And I’ll open my eyes to you. Your skins as thick as the planets core and your hearts as deep as the ocean floor but if you let me in, just let us all in you know our strengths will hold your hefty whims. Open your arms to me, girl. Open your arms to me, girl. I’ll open my arms to you. When you open your eyes to me, girl. You’ll open your eyes to me, girl. I’ll open my eyes to you.

All this talk of growing up, can we just take it slow? You see my love I was built up so high, and that’s a long way down to fall. The creases in these sheets remind me of your skin. I’m still holding onto memories from when I was just a kid. I’m sorry that I worried you, I was trying to be good. Maybe one day when I’m older we can meet up again. When I say goodbye to this old world will you introduce me to your friends? I’m sorry that I worried you, I was trying to be good.

To make you stay, to make you stay…Won’t you tell me what you’re thinking of? Coloured flags are hanging from the walls. A carved memory. We are carving memories. Won’t you tell me what you’re fighting for?Castaways paint portraits of love. I’m still searching for gold, I’m still digging for souls. Oh maple, you’ve turned hazel. And these cracks are getting bigger and I’m losing you. Won’t you tell me what you’re waiting for? She chose winter to fall and summer to leave. It's just sun and broken leaves. Oh maple, you’ve turned hazel. And I’m watching as you fade away, your leaves grip tighter as I start to sway - to make me stay. To make you stay. To make you stay. To make you stay. To make you stay. To make you stay. To make you stay. To make you stay. Won’t you tell me when you find it all? We fall apart when our layers hit the floor. No more buried memories, we bury our memories. Oh maple, you’ve turned hazel. And your slow steps are keeping me and I'm bringing you down.

There’s a silence that brings me here again to soften my heavy tread. There’s a power source beneath our skin, you can use it if you care. There’s an energy force that holds me here. Gravity seeks revenge. But it’s the currency that worries me. It’s (she’s) holding out a hand. Breath of Man. It’s the hard and fast, the push and pull that signify a place. But the smoke creeps up, heavy stranglin’ limbs (and) wraps its legs around your waist. Your tiny human lungs and weak beatin’ hearts. Give you body to the race. Soil and bones with a sun in gold – she exhales a hurricane. Breath of man. Breath in breath out, fog the window up - finger help within the frame. It’s gone too far we’ve burnt our bridges down. Fall before the mammals’ grave. Inhale, stand tall, line up and wait. The rank decides upon your fate. Your brittle lungs hold less then you said they would, fall in line behind the whale. Breath of Man. Left, Right. Right, Left. Don’t go closing your eyes. You can try marry the moon but you still need the light. Can’t you see the faults, you’ve let your morals slip. Took the prize before the race. It’s not up to me but this rock you see, for she owns our greedy race. And the breath of man. The small breath of man.
