Green Eyes

by Elias

on Warcry (2015)

[Verse 1]
Keeping one eye open
Sleeping with the enemy
I see no heart in the frozen dark
That ever speaks to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Would you cut me from the branches?
Release me from the chains?
Ain't nobody coming home to me
Since you've gone away

[Chorus]
Every time I lay down
Shut my mind, but I feel
Green eyes in the night
The rain in your hair as you run for your life
Running through the storm
Running through the storm
I see you, a curse in my mind
Coming to haunt me, you're holding me tight
Never coming home
Never coming home

[Verse 2]
Dancing with the loveless
With effort, we are screaming in the dark
Fill our lungs with acid tongues
But it only breaks apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Would you cut me from the branches?
Release me from the chains?
Ain't nobody coming home to me
Since you've gone away

[Chorus]
Every time I lay down
Shut my mind, but I feel
Green eyes in the night
The rain in your hair as you run for your life
Running through the storm
Running through the storm
I see you, a curse in my mind
Coming to haunt me, you're holding me tight
Never coming home
Never coming home

[Bridge]
Won't you set me free?
My dreams, they don't belong to me
I said, why won't you set me free?
My dreams, they don't belong to me
Oh, I see you
I see your golden teeth in the dark
The rain in your hair, so perfectly combed

[Outro]
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
