Alces Machlis
Oval Eyes
[Verse 1]
My leaves fall where the green lives
88 weeks worth of binging
The bittersweet taste of citrus
The flavor of your orange lips
The sweat drips, when we're skin-to-skin
Say I love you when fuck you cause I mean it
The air grows thick, then thin, then arid
Guess we'll be believers when we see it

[Chorus]
Wow
Smoke screens and mirrors got me screaming out
I'm bitter on the inside now
Caught fire in the winter, wiped out
Oval eyes behind a cigarette
Pounce
Like you want me, but don't love me - let it out
Tonight, its obvious we're animals with doubts
I think the sooner that we get up off the ground
The better we'll be by next season

[Verse 2]
Made all my strengths from a weakness
Found passion running to my reason
Was sick of being so mistreated
Falling up over this said, "I don't need it"
Embers drift in the wind again
Hanging me out to dry, cast me in porcelain
Wondering if you'll survive this again
Shaking the world up...
[Chorus]
'Cause lately I been burning down
Smoke screen and mirrors got me screaming
Out I'm bitter on the inside
Now caught fire in the winter
Wiped out
Oval eyes behind a cigarette
Pounce
Like you want me, but don't love me
Let it out
Tonight, its obvious we're animals with
Doubts
I think the sooner that we get up off the ground
The better we'll be by next season

[Bridge]
The symbolism goes too deep
When ya surround me
In a hug, 'cause you're in such a hurry
Sun, rain or sleet
My words sound sweet
Through a voice kind with no worries

[Outro]
Now, I'm bitter on the inside
Now, oval eyes behind a cigarette
Wow, I'm bitter on the inside
Now, oval eyes behind a cigarette
