Flood Lights • Tattooed & Tear Eyed • New Gravity

lyrics

It's right under my eye
yet still I wonder why
I tattooed a tear on white
I don't recall taking a life

heart knocks they wake me up
mouth dry I check the time
it beats with the blood on my mind
dusted sunlight comes through the blinds

oh...it gets away from me
did I go out to feed all my lesser demons?

hot night in a filthy town
so beat and blacking out
left in these wilds I might die
but you'll shake that feeling off tonight

when like a yellow lie
the moon glows in the sky
and you see in it a smile
missing the evil all the while

oh if it gets away from me
only you can sing down
all my lesser demons?

it's right under my eye
yet still I wonder why
I'm tattooed and tear eyed
