The Glorious Sons – Wild Eyes lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was a kid I was scared of the devil
I didn't realize he was the world's first rebel
Had a dream about a war, circa 1994
I woke up in a cold sweat, singing heavy metal
I'm scared of humans, I'm scared of bombs
I'm worried 'bout white kids carrying guns
Wrapped a noose around my neck, 'cause I just couldn't hide
I felt it 'round my throat, and I couldn't stop laughing

[Chorus]
The colour of your lips is the same as the blood on my hands
These wild eyes of yours
Pick me up, take me home, I can barely stand
These wild eyes of yours

[Verse 2]
I used to believe there was some kind of power
Running through the world that I'll never understand
It made me wanna keep searching, and find out what I can
Now I'm looking for a way to erase everything
'Cause look around honey, break it down for your honey
We built this all out of fear of just being monkeys
Don't let it upset you, it's really kinda funny
The only thing you can't explain is why you still love me

[Chorus]
The colour of your lips is the same as the blood on my hands
These wild eyes of yours
Pick me up, take me home, I can barely stand
These wild eyes of yours

[Outro]
For now
For now
For now
For now
For now
These wild eyes of yours
These wild eyes of yours
These wild eyes of yours
These wild eyes of yours
