The White Of Your Eyes
from Phantom Limbs by numbtongue
lyrics
I held you
Too close to me
Too close to see
And it only made sense
Once it was too late
Is it too late?
“I was taught to settle for shame”
For shame..
For shame..
I was taught to settle for shame
To settle for shame
to settle for shame
Yeah I save the blame
Because I carry your name
No I don’t savor the blame
Love I carry your name
I carry your name
So it‘s all I’ll be
So it’s all they’ll see
But I get me back from you
And it always made sense
But it was always too soon
“I was taught to settle for shame"
To carry your lies
I carry your lies
Your lies, the white of your lie
The white of your eyes
in no eyes in no eyes
Though I’ve no eyes
I am all eyes
The white of your eyes
There is no proof
I am sacred as you
There is no proof
I am sacred as you
There is no proof
I am sacred as you!
I am sacred as you!
I am sacred as you!
I am sacred as you!
And I will not settle for shame!
I will not settle for shame!
I will not settle for shame!
I will not settle for same!
And I will speak it’s name!
will speak of what I became!
they shall speak it’s name!
And all will be made plain as the pain!
I will not settle for fame!
I will not settle for same!
I will remember my name, my very first name!
I will remember my name, my very first name!
Too close to me
Too close to see
And it only made sense
Once it was too late
Is it too late?
“I was taught to settle for shame”
For shame..
For shame..
I was taught to settle for shame
To settle for shame
to settle for shame
Yeah I save the blame
Because I carry your name
No I don’t savor the blame
Love I carry your name
I carry your name
So it‘s all I’ll be
So it’s all they’ll see
But I get me back from you
And it always made sense
But it was always too soon
“I was taught to settle for shame"
To carry your lies
I carry your lies
Your lies, the white of your lie
The white of your eyes
in no eyes in no eyes
Though I’ve no eyes
I am all eyes
The white of your eyes
There is no proof
I am sacred as you
There is no proof
I am sacred as you
There is no proof
I am sacred as you!
I am sacred as you!
I am sacred as you!
I am sacred as you!
And I will not settle for shame!
I will not settle for shame!
I will not settle for shame!
I will not settle for same!
And I will speak it’s name!
will speak of what I became!
they shall speak it’s name!
And all will be made plain as the pain!
I will not settle for fame!
I will not settle for same!
I will remember my name, my very first name!
I will remember my name, my very first name!
