Lyrics
Demon Eyes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Looking out my narrow window I'll tell you what I see
The pit bulls are on the streets, they're closing in on me
Could it be this paranoia keeping me intact?
Lock the door and load my gun, this time I'm fighting back
So take a look across your desk, you tell me why I'm here
You've been making all that money preying on the fear
I can see your demon eyes, the target has been set
Take a shot for old times sake, you've done no damage yet
The way you smile all the time, crooked badge, you're spitting lies
I'm alone in my home, my only friend.
(chorus)
I tried to look you in the eye, I tried to tell you I'm alive
I tried, I tried to tell you
When there's just no medicine for those lies of mine
I'm so terrified what I might find what you hide behind those demon eyes.
Why'd you take the time your taking to under mind my name?
Does it help you sleep at night to play that rightenous game?
Why'd you say those things you said, words that you don't mean?
Two faces telling lies, telling lies to me.
The way you smile all the time, crooked badge, you're spitting lies
I'm alone in my home, you'll bury me.
(chorus)
I tried to look you in the eye, I tried to tell you I'm alive
I tried, I tried to tell you
When there's just no medicine for those lies of mine
I'm so terrified what I might find what you hide behind those demon eyes.
You love to look me in the eye to tell me you're alive
You love to look me in the eye to tell me you're alive
You love, you love to look me in the eye to tell me you're alive
You love, you love to look me in the eye to tell me you're alive.
You love to look me in the eye to tell me you're alive
You've got the demon eyes.
You love to look me in the eye to tell me you're alive
You've got the demon eyes.
You gotta know I tried, you gotta know why
I tried, I tried to look you in the eye and tell you I'm alive
I tried, I tried to tell you.
When there's just no medicine for those lies of mine
Still terrified what I might find what you hide behind those demon eyes.
