Slobberbone - Bright Eyes Darkened lyrics

Your rating:

You say that love is everything

Then you turn around and sing about all your painful moments

How in the end they didn't care for the memories you shared

Your despair and inner torment

Yeah well wait a minute, friend, stop before you begin

We've heard this one before

So you're on a downward slide, but you've seen the other side

You can't ask for more

The end of summer's in the air

Do you remember when you cared about friends and change of season

And a guitar was in your hands, and you played in twenty bands

And you never needed no reason

Yeah well stop a minute there, why should anyone else care?

They've all got holes to plug

She's a shovel in your hands, she's a pail of sand

Someone you once dug



You say you gave it all you could and did everything you should

And you still wound up defeated

And all the efforts inbetween don't amount to anything

Just old mistakes repeated

And it's probably pretty true but what else you got to do?

We've all got time to kill

She's the T.V. ad that lied, the drug you hadn't tried

She was a perfect little pill



I've seen your bright eyes darken

Eyes that always shone

So bright I had to close my own



You say you can't live in the past

But you're driving there so fast

Headlights aimed for drinking

You'll say "I knew it all along", as the bars they pass along

With the ground below you sinking

Yeah so stop for three or four, they won't card you at the door

They've seen you there before

It's not your favorite place to drink, but a place to stop and think

Maybe you can't ask for more

Sputtering and spent and wondering where it all went:

Your dreams and things you wanted

You built a space for them inside where the walls are made with pride

Empty, cold and haunted

Yeah but who am I to judge or negotiate your grudge

I should keep my damn mouth closed

You should call them with the news, tell them they're the one who's screwed

You just might be right, who knows?
