Billions Of Eyes Lyrics - After - Lady Lamb The Beekeeper

when gravity's a palm pushing down on your head 

like the devil's got a paw dug in your shoulder 

and the other one is rubbing your back 

but the kitchen in the new place has a window 

yeah you can grow basil on the sill 

maybe you can call your neighbors by name now 

berries on the dash is the sweetest kind of living 

Still this feels like eating the meat of the mountain 

It's all grit and gristle i can't chew and swallow, 

I'm gnawing my way back home 

the clouds look a lot like wool gone through the wash 

I check my phone for the time but I still wear my watch 

yeah i'm confused about how i'm supposed to connect to anything now 

the kind of high I like is when I barely make the train 

And the people with a seat smile big at me because they know the feeling 

and for a millisecond we share a look like a family does 

like we have inside jokes 

like we could call each other by little nicknames 

and I could tell the story of how 

My great grandmothers' sister was deemed a saint 

how they exhumed her body after years of being buried 

and they found she hadn't even begun to sully 

so they moved her again, straight into the Vatican 

I think of all the billions of eyes 

all looking at something different at the same time 

and I feel nauseous 

some days i can only see into my suitcase 

it's got everything I need 

plus some superstitious things I may also need 

"music soothes the savage beast" 

the pilot says to me and he asks me to sing 

but now is not the time 

I just want to fall into a pile of warm laundry 

i just wanna keep very very quiet yeah 

it's June where you sleep, July where I land 

thought I saw you on the platform in Amsterdam 

and I nearly missed my train 

and I felt so defeated til I jumped on to see all the warm smiles were for me 

I made my train and it made me so happy 

I made my train and it made me forget everything 

it made me forget, made me forget made me forget made me forget everything 

it made me forget made me forget made me forget made me forget made me forget everything
