The Silent Comedy - Eyes Upon Us lyrics
[The Silent Comedy - Eyes Upon Us lyrics]
But who are we fooling with our foolish lives
We blunder and stumble with arrogance blind
Convinced that our living will
Be worth our lives
But there are eyes upon us eyes upon us
Those eyes belong to the grave
I stand here above you and play out the night
My fingers on nickel strings
My lips on the mic
If you keep staring at me
I think that I might
Mistake you for salvation and give you a try
But there are eyes upon us eyes upon us
Those eyes belong to the grave
And I'll keep you honest if
You keep me honest
One day we both can be saved
Preachers are building their
Mansions for saints
They're boarding the windows and
Closing the gate to lock up their Jesus with
The money they've made
Bring out the sinners to watch their parade
But my eyes are now broken, unable to stand
I'm seeing gold-plated liars with
Bloody red hands
They're afire in the pulpit
While out in the street
I'm a sinner with the sinners
And we only repeat
There are eyes upon us eyes upon us
Those eyes belong to the grave
And I'll keep you honest if
You keep me honest
One day we both can be saved
