Every Eye Open - Jesse Marchant

Thought you had opened

Your heart to me

Every light shone, I was mistaken

Don’t these friends fall out?

Ain’t they leaves on the ground

Laid into place for you?

I remember the nights

When you and I were high

And reclaimed our youth

Your skin in the sun

Your hair in the wind

Every eye open pulls you in

But you are less than what you are

I seen the one you lost

The way you skip across the sand

Lying dead in the ocean

I waited on the pull of your hand

Does it bring you up

To stake your line

In anyone who’ll gather around

To live on the grounds

Of your half-whole life

A lie you’re staking your life to

The patching of holes in the light

From the secrets

That shines through

All the waste from the inside

Well I’ve been living in lies too

Yeah, I’ve been holding 'em down

And the secret sin that I’ve loved you

For more than a little while
