about

"Black Eyes & White Lies" performed live in-studio at The Meatlocker in Montclair, NJ.

lyrics

Search went on for days
For a place for a night to die.
Finally it came to be
As the seas waved us goodbye.

Faked all our debts,
Faked death and woke up dreaming.
But we know that on the breeze we blow
Are the hands of their dealing.

Wither with her.
The over-known have overflown,
They're all so high and useless now
And so their blood is felt by stone.

Chorus
Oh how obscene,
This nostalgia machine ain't got the time
For us now,
Though somehow we all realized
That some more black eyes and white lies
Are the gifts that they bring,
Who stole our brightest idea
And made it dim

Not that man yet,
Too young to regret it now.
Dominoes are on a way,
They've found them
Fall with every step out

Chorus
Oh how obscene,
This nostalgia machine ain't got the time
For us now,
Though somehow we all realized
That some more black eyes and white lies
Are the gifts that they bring,
Who stole our brightest idea
And made it dim
