Bright Black 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.
I thought that I knew where my heart it had landed
I thought that I'd worked it all out
I thought you'd be willing to hold me at night and
I thought that that's what I would want
But I was a blind man in love with a demon and
I couldn't figure it out
Your bright black eyes have started to quench all the light in
my soul
Your bright black eyes have started to strip all the sense from
my mind
This desert it seems to have no plans of ending
So I have to make it my home
You gave me a chance now I know I can't take it
I'd rather just be here alone
Your bright black eyes have started to quench all the light in
my soul
Your bright black eyes have started to strip all the sense from
my mind
I have let you play me and take me to places that I thought that
I couldn't find
Your bright black eyes have started to quench all the light in
my soul
Your bright black eyes have started to strip all the sense from
my mind
Don't talk to me about love
This has nothing to do with that word
This is just good old fashioned exploitation
You're not serious
So just like a dog that returns to his vomit
I guess that I do it because
I get no more pleasure from self-deprecation
It's not as much fun as it was
Your bright black eyes have started to quench all the light in
my soul
Your bright black eyes have started to strip all the sense from
my mind
Your bright black eyes have started to quench all the light in
my soul
Your bright black eyes have started to strip all the sense from
my mind
