Bright Eyed

(album: Extended Family - 2011)

'Cause you can liaise with
With any silver tongue you like
It'll never make it right
'Cause our bonds are stronger
Than any chemical on offer
My grit it fails me once more

We're thirsty and never quenched
And every time I empty this
I'm more bright eyed, less alive
Chasing smoke from liquid fire
When my knees buckle, prop me
I'm not long lost
I've been here the whole time

Don't congratulate me on my patience
I've barely learnt a thing that hasn't been forced down on me
I'd love to draw the line, but I just can't find a pen
And paper and restraint are two commodities
Long since lost to me

We're thirsty and never quenched
And every time I empty this
I'm more bright eyed, less alive
Chasing smoke from liquid fire
When my knees buckle, prop me
I'm not long lost
I've been here the whole time

Watch me paint my exterior
Watch me paint my exterior
This farce is who we are
(This farce is burning forever)
Watch me paint my exterior

It'll never make it right
It'll never make it right
It'll never make it right
