Eileen Lyrics by Cagework

CAGEWORK

2019

Eileen sits around hidden by the sound
Of the boiling water as it splatters on the table top
She wants it all to stop, be banished and forgot
Until the time when she only longs for things she never had
'Cause no one understands
And it really makes her mad

Give me three weeks to disappear
I promise I'm sincere when I say that's all I've ever wanted maybe more
Work hard for common cause, give short rounds of applause
To the stupid people that I am likеly to meet
Who can't suffer defeat
'Causе they never found their feet like me

Making the most of my selfish years
Making the most of my selfish years
Making the most of my selfish years

Sat there wearing a frown
The words were so profound
That she felt something that she had never felt before
Shaken to the core feeling better than before
When she was screaming
Why am I so difficult to meet

Can't find a way to beat
The ground beneath my feet

It is harder than it seems
To take one for the team
When the team you're on revolves around you and only you
The star of your own show
Faced with the sickly glow of your reflection
Of your face, impossible to clean

You've got to keep it mean
If you want to be believed like me

Making the most of my selfish years
Making the most of my selfish years
Making the most of my selfish years
