Deformative Lyrics by Black Eyes

Black Eyes

[Verse 1 - Hugh McElroy]
Sunset behind a chain-link fence
You put that tiny candle in my hand
You put that chrism on my forehead
With your fingers crossed, you held my wrists, numb
Never forget that pebble pushing up and into my knee
You said the sky'd light up, you said the sky'd light up
And all the kids in the playground waiting for the light up
You said the sky's the sign, you said the sky's the sign
And I was watching the blue in your eyes turn fire
You said the sky'd light up, you said the sky'd light up
And we were all waiting for
[Chorus - both vocalists, Hugh McElroy, Daniel Martin-McCormick]
And all I feel anymore and all I can see anymore
I didn't like it, I was excited by it
What will I say (when) when I get home?
I'm in the window and I'm at the door (Go!)
Oooh, oooh, oooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh
[Verse 2 - Hugh McElroy, Daniel Martin-McCormick]
And on the four-square court, and on the jungle gym
(I—___—die—___, I feel so)
And on the asphalt you gave me
(I got no peace of mind, and I got no peace of mind)
A fear of my skin, a desiring
(Why—try—feel—my—I—why—die—try—)
To feel the sun rising in between my knees
(I—die—feel—try—and I got no peace of mind)
Why—try—feel—my—I got no peace of mind
And I got no peace of mind
And I got no peace of mind
[Chorus - both vocalists, Hugh McElroy, Daniel Martin-McCormick]
And all I can feel anymore and all I can see anymore
I'm 16, driving south from Baltimore
What will I say (when) when I get home?
I'm in the window and I'm at the door
All I feel anymore and all I can see anymore
There's something on the ceiling, my feet aren't on the floor
(I didn't like it, I was excited by it)
All I feel anymore and all I can see anymore
(What will I say when I get home?)
My feet aren't on the floor, there's something on the ceiling
(I'm in the window and I'm out the door)
[Verse 3 - Hugh McElroy, Daniel Martin-McCormick]
Sunset behind a chain-link fence
You put that tiny candle in my hand
You put that chrism on my forehead
With your fingers crossed, you held my wrists, numb
Never forget that pebble pushing up into my knee
You said the sky'd light up, you said the sky'd light up
(All I feel anymore and all I can see anymore)
And all the kids in the playground waiting for the light up
(Do you fear for your child? This will stay with me until I die!)
And all the kids in the four-square courts
(All I feel anymore and all I can see anymore)
I hated them, then, them more!
(A loneliness no fag could comprehend)
