Beneath the Eyelids
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.
Do you remember how you wore that dress?
It slipped my sight beneath the eyelid
Do you remember what you said to me?
What cause has given you the right to stray?
and then you're living to muster a taste
the clocks are ticking fast with every breath
since we've been wrong, ive been poured away
since we've been wrong, you will never ever know me
what took you so long?
Im not sure of the way
but i hold it as
just one more time
you still amass
One day your brain will come and wash away
That Earth that held us was no island
I have become unbroke inside this skin
I'll find a way out through those eyelids
And all the days become of cast away
I seem to think I dont't belong here
since we've been wrong, ive been poured away
since we've been wrong, you will never ever know me
what took you so long?
Im not sure of the way
but i hold it as
just one more time
you still amass
on top along here
I should have stayed
what folds inside
becomes empty
the walls between us
wont ever break
should seal it shut
it grows empty
since we've been wrong, ive been poured away
since we've been wrong, you will never ever know me
what took you so long?
Im not sure of the way
since we've been wrong, you will never ever know me
since we've been wrong, you will never ever know me
what took you so long?
Im not sure of the way
but i hold it as
just one more time
you still amass
