Bright Eyes - Scale, a Mirror, and These Indifferent Clocks lyrics
[Bright Eyes - Scale, a Mirror, and These Indifferent Clocks lyrics]
Here is a scale
Weigh it out and you will find
Easily, more than sufficient doubt that
These colors you see were picked in advance
By some careful hand with an
Absolute concept of beauty
They are smeared and these blurs
Come in random order
And they color the eyes of your former lovers
Hers were green like July except when
She cried they were red
Now, I know a disease that
These doctors can't treat
You contract on the day
You accept all you see is a mirror
And a mirror is all it can be
A reflection of something were missing
And language just happened
It was never planned
And it's inadequate to describe where I am
In the room of my house
Where the light has never been waiting
For this day to end
And these clocks keep unwinding
And completely ignore
Everything that we hate or adore
Once the page of a calendar is turned
Its no more, so tell me then, what
Was it for? Oh tell me, what was it for?
Weigh it out and you will find
Easily, more than sufficient doubt that
These colors you see were picked in advance
By some careful hand with an
Absolute concept of beauty
They are smeared and these blurs
Come in random order
And they color the eyes of your former lovers
Hers were green like July except when
She cried they were red
Now, I know a disease that
These doctors can't treat
You contract on the day
You accept all you see is a mirror
And a mirror is all it can be
A reflection of something were missing
And language just happened
It was never planned
And it's inadequate to describe where I am
In the room of my house
Where the light has never been waiting
For this day to end
And these clocks keep unwinding
And completely ignore
Everything that we hate or adore
Once the page of a calendar is turned
Its no more, so tell me then, what
Was it for? Oh tell me, what was it for?
