Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I close my eyes
I can see for miles
There's comfort in my dark seat
And chaos in the aisles
[Chorus]
These eyes are not your eyes
And these eyes are not the color
That your arid eyes might be
No, I was not around
When those eyes of yours decided so
I refuse to kneel before the sights you choose to see
[Verse 2]
When I close my eyes
I remember why I smile
Under my umbrella
I'm an accomplished exile
[Chorus]
These eyes are not your eyes
And these eyes are not the color
That your arid eyes might be
No, I was not around
When those eyes of yours decided so
I refuse to kneel before the sights you choose to see
[PostChorus]
If this is right, I'd rather be wrong
If this is sight, I'd rather be blind
[Instrumental]
These eyes are not your eyes
And these eyes are not the color
That your arid eyes might be
No, I was not around
When those eyes of yours decided so
I refuse to kneel before the sights you choose to see
[PostChorus]
If this is right, I'd rather be wrong
If this is sight, I'd rather be blind
