Dead Set Eyes Lyrics by Emma Ruth Rundle

On Dark Horses

2018

[Verse 1]
In a place so loud we will never be free
Just a slave to a taker, to a man, to a need
And I won’t go back, I never wanted to leave
Just a slave to a taker, will we never be free?
[Chorus]
In a city so callous with two dead set eyes
With a mouth full of Xanax and a handful of time
They say what doesn’t kill you will just keep you alive
And what doesn’t kill you, you
[Verse 2]
In the place you love with all the dogs set free
In a future together was never gonna be me
Just a slave to a taker, to a man, to a need
And I can never go back, I never wanted to leave
[Chorus]
In a city so callous with two dead set eyes
With a mouth full of Xanax and a handful of time
They say what doesn’t kill you will just keep you alive
And what doesn’t kill you
[Bridge]
Always the long way home
Always the long way home
[Chorus]
In the city so callous with two dead set eyes
With a mouth full of Xanax and a handful of time
They say what doesn’t kill you will just get you high
And what doesn’t kill you
