Gurdjieff's Daughter Lyrics - Short Movie - Laura Marling

If they adorn themselves with crystals 

to make them look sharp 

Sleep with their hand on a pistol, 

they're afraid of the dark 

Well if it wakes you, 

which it has to be known to, 

don't be alarmed 

Darkness can't do you harm 

Fear will hurt you 

And outside, if wind is beating 

a tree to a bed 

Don't fear that it might be meeting 

some untimely end 

They do what they're supposed 

to but they have been known 

to stand strong and tall, 

weather it all 

Take what you can 

Never give orders, 

just to be obeyed 

Never consider yourself or others 

without knowing that you'll change 

It may not surprise you, 

but pride has been known to 

rise up a storm 

Countless lives lost 

at the hands of pride and I'll fall 

Who'll weep for them? Sometimes I do. 

I do sometimes 

Who weeps for them? Sometimes I do. 

I do sometimes 

You can't see it, it might be behind you 

Keep those eyes wide 

You can't see it, it might be behind you 

Keep those eyes wide 

Don't be impressed 

by strong personalities 

Sincere words 

are rarely sickly sweet 

But if they fool you, 

which they have been known to 

Don't lose your sight, 

know something's not right 

and look at the stars 

Be weary of being 

given a name 

if for some reason 

you're not considered the same 

Once they name you, 

they have been known to 

lock you in 

Statistical sin 

they'd rather ignore 

Who'll weep for them? Sometimes I do. 

I do sometimes 

Who weeps for them? Sometimes I do. 

I do sometimes 

You can't see it, it might be behind you 

Keep your eyes wide 

You can't see it, it might be behind you 

Keep those eyes wide 

Keep your eyes on the back of your mind
