Jon Mclaughlin - Wool Over Eyes lyrics

rate me

Well I’m running out of new words to say

The sky has been the grayest blue for days

And the slowly growing sympathy waits for me on every face

I’m trying to figure out what clever is

I look for clues in awkward silences

And I don’t know what happened but I’ve been this way ever since

And the truth that keeps me up at night

Is somehow hard to recognize

And the wall is keeping both my eyes closed

Everybody knows

There are elephants in every room I see

They softly hum beneath the words we speak

But we’ve sugar coated everything and now it’s rotting out my teeth

And the truth that keeps me up at night

Is the hardest thing to recognize

The wall is telling my eyes to see and everybody knows but me

To live you have to know what to ignore

Decisions set the good and bad at war

And your life is what you’ve chosen but living is the back and forth

And the truth that keeps me up at night

It’s the hardest thing to recognize

And the wall is pulling my eyes closed

And time’s not what she used to be

She’s turned into an enemy

And all that was in front of me is behind

God knows how I tried
