The Center Of The World - Bright Eyes (明亮的眼睛)

At the center of the world there is a statue of a girl

She is standing near a well with a bucket bare and dry

I went and looked her in the eyes and she turned me into sand

This clumsy form that I despise it scattered easy in her hand

And it came to rest upon a beach with a million others there

We sat and waited for the sea to stretch out

So that we could disappear into the endlessness of blue

Into the horror of the truth

We are far less than we knew

Yes we are far less than we knew

But we knew what we could taste

Girls found honey to drench our hands

Men cut marble to mark our graves

Saying that we will need something to remind more and us song

Of all the sweetness that has passed through us

The priests dressed children for a choir

But found no joy in what was sung

The funeral had begun in the middle of the day

When you drive home to your place from that job that makes you sleep

Back to the thoughts that keep you awake long after

Night has come to claim any light

That still remains in the corner of the frame that you put around her face

Two pills just weren't enough

The alarm clock is going off but you are not waking up

This isn't happening happening happening happening happening It is
