Big Thief - Forgotten Eyes lyrics
[Big Thief - Forgotten Eyes lyrics]
Forgotten eyes are the ones which we lose
Forgotten hands are the ones which we choose
To let go of, but it is no less a bruise
On the collective arm keeping
Us high and gone
Forgotten dance is the one left at birth
Forgotten plants in the fossils of earth
And they've long passed but they
Are no less the dirt
Of the common soil keeping us dry and warm
The wound has no direction
Everybody needs a home and
Deserves protection‚ hmm-mm
Hollow-eyed on Eddie Street‚ no
Sirens to hear just trash and soiled needles
Clawing the veneer
And no crying but it is no less a tear
On the common cheek with which we smile
Hollow-eyed on Eddie‚ is it they or is it I?
Is it me who is more hollow
As I'm quickly passing by?
And the poison is killing them
But then so am I as I turn away
The wound has no direction
Everybody needs a home
And deserves protection, hmm-mm
Forgotten tongue is the language of love
Forgotten tongue is the language of love
Forgotten tongue is the language of love
Forgotten tongue
Forgotten hands are the ones which we choose
To let go of, but it is no less a bruise
On the collective arm keeping
Us high and gone
Forgotten dance is the one left at birth
Forgotten plants in the fossils of earth
And they've long passed but they
Are no less the dirt
Of the common soil keeping us dry and warm
The wound has no direction
Everybody needs a home and
Deserves protection‚ hmm-mm
Hollow-eyed on Eddie Street‚ no
Sirens to hear just trash and soiled needles
Clawing the veneer
And no crying but it is no less a tear
On the common cheek with which we smile
Hollow-eyed on Eddie‚ is it they or is it I?
Is it me who is more hollow
As I'm quickly passing by?
And the poison is killing them
But then so am I as I turn away
The wound has no direction
Everybody needs a home
And deserves protection, hmm-mm
Forgotten tongue is the language of love
Forgotten tongue is the language of love
Forgotten tongue is the language of love
Forgotten tongue
