Forgotten Eyes

Lyrics

Forgotten eyes are the ones which we lose
 Forgotten hands are the ones which we choose
 To let go of, but it is no less a bruise
 On the collective arm keeping us high and gone
 Forgotten dance is the one left at birth
 Forgotten plants in the fossils of earth
 And they've long passed but they are no less the dirt
 Of the common soil keeping us dry and warm
 The wound has no direction
 Everybody needs a home and deserves protection, hmm-mm
 ♪
 Hollow-eyed on Eddie street no sirens to hear
 Just trash and soiled needles clawing the veneer
 And no crying but it is no less a tear
 On the common cheek with which we smile
 Hollow-eyed on Eddie' is it they or is it I?
 Is it me who is more hollow as I'm quickly passing by?
 And the poison is killing them' but then so am I
 As I turn away
 The wound has no direction
 Everybody needs a home and deserves protection, hmm-mm
 ♪
 Forgotten tongue is the language of love
 Forgotten tongue is the language of love
 Forgotten tongue is the language of love
 Forgotten tongue
