I Have Beautiful Eyes

1. In a box

Orð og lag: Sakaris Emil Joensen

Seven seconds late
I’m bound to miss my early train
Waiting for a second one
The clock is beating up my brain
My briefcase is on fire
And it’s weighing half a ton
And I’ve got no time for setting
See you later, gotta run

And no, you won’t get a chance to keep up with me
Trails of paperwork will be all that you’ll ever see
And no, I’m not slowing down for a Saturday
You keep up your wasting and I will be on my way

But ooh
It’s alright
‘Cause I’m gonna put myself in a box tonight

Train tickets, paychecks
And Prozac for me
Yes, the tracks are going straight
Just as far as I can see
Twenty-four rush hours
Seven days a week
Makes me feel a little sick
But it puts me on the peak

And no, you won’t get a chance to keep up with me
Trails of paperwork will be all that you’ll ever see
And no, I’m not slowing down for a Saturday
You keep up your wasting and I will be on my way

But ooh
It’s alright
‘Cause I’m gonna put myself in a box tonight

Seven seconds silence
Little early for the train
And it’s getting on my nerves
I wanna get back on the lane
Way too many people
Doing life in slow-mo
While I’m waiting for my ride
Oh here it is, I’ve gotta go

And no, you won’t get a chance to keep up with me
Trails of paperwork will be all that you’ll ever see
And no, I’m not slowing down for a Saturday
You keep up your wasting and I will be on my way

But ooh
It’s alright
‘Cause I’m gonna put myself in a box tonight

2. I have beautiful eyes

Orð og lag: Sakaris Emil Joensen

You’ll see it all
All my mask will fall
There won’t be a single rift left unexplored
You’re travelling
Across my skin
And I’m waking up to find

It’s been a long time coming
Now I see the result
Of abuse I’ve taken from myself
And when the lights go on
I’ll try to clutch on to hope
In the toilet saying to myself

I have beautiful eyes
I have no need to disguise them
‘Cause my eyes are not a part of my face

Please turn it off
I’ve had enough
I’m running for cover out here in the shade
I’m showered in
your confidence
And I’m waking up to see

It’s been a long time coming
Now I see the results
Of abuse I’ve taken from myself
And when the lights go on
I’ll try to clutch on to hope
In the toilet saying to myself

I have beautiful eyes
I have no need to disguise them
‘Cause my eyes are not a part of my face

3. Do my dancing

Orð og lag: Sakaris Emil Joensen

Birthday Bashing
New year Smashing
Weekends mopping
Punch from the bowl
Gone wasting days
Still celebrating
Nights spent throwing
Massive bricks at the wall

Let’s fill the parachutes with
Lead and jump ahead
the try to
soften the fall
with arms a-failing in the air
won’t make no
Sense won’t get us
Nowhere at all
Well I gotta be the one to do my dancing

We’re shooting stingray missiles
Down our throats to
Blow up any sense
We behold
It’s getting louder here and
Harder still to
Keep your pretty
Face from the floor

There ain’t no stopping
Drunken shopping
We could go for years
And still ask for more
She’s got a million bids on fire
Going higher
Just like us before
Well I gotta be the one to do my dancing

4. Stay where you are

Orð og lag: Sakaris Emil Joensen

Stay where you are
I think I made a mistake
I think I blew it all up
I’m moving too far
And you’ve got too much to take
I think I’m packing too much

‘Cause I’m already at the edge
There’ll be no way back
From the minefields past the hedge
You will rip me of my tracks so please just

Stay where you are

I’m steady alone
My chains are pulling me down
Always silky and warm
When you come shaking up all that I know
I feel I’m losing control
Take away all the reasons for me to go back to my hole

‘Cause I’m already at the edge
There’ll be no way back
From the minefields past the hedge
You will rip me of my tracks so please just

Stay where you are

6. Minefields

Orð og lag: Sakaris Emil Joensen

I’ve been through every single action
And I figure this must be the one
Been through it motion after motion
No, there’s nowhere that I could go wrong
‘Cause in my head it’s all a ping-pong match
With just one petty ball to catch
So watch me sweep away the minefields
Up ahead where I’m bound to go

And if the whole damn operation goes down, I swear
I can tell exactly where I went wrong
I’ll take another shot tomorrow to make it alright
Turn it all into a different song

I spend my lifetime just rehearsing what I really would do
But when the moment comes it always turns up way too soon

Been through it failure after failure
After missteps and blue, swollen eyes
Steer away from rocky shores
And make a run towards everything nice
But when the lion takes a swing at me
I’m paralyzed from head to knee
So watch me sweep away the minefields
Up ahead where I’m bound to go

And if the whole damn operation goes down, I swear
I can tell exactly where I went wrong
I’ll take another shot tomorrow to make it alright
Turn it all into a different song

I spend my lifetime just rehearsing what I really would do
But when the moment comes it always turns up way too soon

7. Lunar love

Lag: Sakaris Emil Joensen

8. Freeze

Orð og lag: Sakaris Emil Joensen

I could stay
Forever in
Your arms
Right here
Frozen still
But always warm
Inside

See the phantoms
Dancing all
Around
Us dear
Slowing down
Now fading out
Of sight

I will blow
The snowflakes of
Your heart
My dear
See them fly
And settle in
The air
I will freeze
That never-ending
Stream
Of tears
Slide around
Your lake of ice
Once more

9. Brace myself

Orð og lag: Sakaris Emil Joensen

I was always alone
Never got too close
To the people
Surrounding me
I never even thought about it
I never thought about
Taking all the hands
They were giving me
And through the
Rubble roads
I would tumble on
So I was always alone
Never threw a bone
To the people
Surrounding me

And now you throw yourself
Before my feet
So I brace myself
For defeat

Going at it alone
Shaking off the
Helping hands
All pulling me
I’m really gonna be bold about it
Never stop for a second
To think about
Anything

And they will tow
‘Till they’re out of breath

And now you throw yourself
Before my feet
So I brace myself
For defeat
