Wild Eyes

(album: A War On Everything - 2019)

When I was a kid I was scared of the devil
I didn't realize he was the world's first rebel
Had a dream about a war Circa 1994
I woke up in a cold sweat singing heavy metal

I'm scared of humans I'm scared of bombs
I'm worried about white kids carrying guns
Wrapped a noose around my neck
Cause I just couldn't hide
I felt it 'round my throat and I couldn't stop laughing

The colour of your lips is the same as the blood on my hands
These wild eyes are yours
Pick me up, take me home, I can barely stand
These wild eyes are yours

I used to believe there was some kind of power
Running through the world that I'll never understand
It made me wanna keep searching and find out what I can
Now I'm looking for a way to erase everything
Cause look around honey, break it down for you honey
We built this all out of fear of just being monkeys
Don't let it upset you, it's really kind of funny
The only thing you can't explain is why you still love me

The colour of your lips is the same as the blood on my hands
These wild eyes are yours
Pick me up, take me home, I can barely stand
These wild eyes are yours

For now, for now
For now, for now
For now

These wild eyes are yours, these wild eyes are yours
These wild eyes are yours, these wild eyes are yours
