Passion Pit Eyes as Candles歌词


My world astir and sickly
Spits out our voices singing
"Tra la la la," on high now
To kingdom come so slightly
Herein a void in your place
I twitch and tweak in allusion
To sit and stare so blankly
Until all hope is used up

Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?
Where do you go when I'm around?
What have I done, what have I lost that's so defeating?
And have the nerve to wear a crown?

Oh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey
Oh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey
Oh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey
Oh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey

In some dark room
A smoky figure fills me full
Makes my head swell in ruin
My family kneels at their pew
They nod, "We believe in what you're doing"
I feel it rise above me
The western landscapes towering
And from my shell of a body
The flowers blossom for picking

Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?
Where do you go when I'm around?
What have I done, what have I lost that's so defeating?
And have the nerve to wear a crown?

Oh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey
Oh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey
Oh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey
Oh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey
Oh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey
Oh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey
Oh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey
Oh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey

I've waited and waited for someone to take it
Don't fight it don't bother, an inch for another
Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together
I've learned well now hear me, there's much to be fearing
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distractions

Oh, na na na na na na, hey hey hey (in background until end)

I've painted your patterns but found them attractive
Now I've been leaning toward a life far more candid
Though lead through the dark with your eyes as my candles
Where you're life and my life's directions can wrangle

And all of a sudden you've left me to handle
The reasons that never forbid me to stand tall
And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret
To staying alive without actually breathing
