I​’​d Rip My Eyes Out for You (The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter)

from besides the lighght by Michael McGlennon

/

lyrics

I’ll keep my fingers crossed
I’ll let my mind get lost
you’ll keep a locket in your pocket so no one knows

I’d rip my eyes out for you
just to keep an eye out for you

silence now
I’ll let my tongue rot in my mouth
tell me not to, please tell me anything at all
things I want
I know not what
it’s only clay and cotton stuffing where there would be guts

I’d rip my eyes out for you
just to keep an eye out for you
memories just hang like taxidermy now
and I ripped their eyes out for you
