Eye For An Eye Lyrics

They know how to put you down, they don't think that you're a star
They see right through you, touch you, push you till you feel very far
You are from being your own woman, you're the reflection of a man
So you get out and you move towns until there's no one left around
Then you're lookin' in the mirror and see yourself for what you are
'Cause all you've ever been in life is their tragic counterpart
Then you break down in the kitchen about not knowin' what to say
When somebody someday asks, "What's your favourite drinkin' game?"
Oh, you've been too afraid to go out and you've hated it inside
So there, you're lookin' pretty rigid in the drivin' school that night
But what the fuck did you expect from somebody with a name
That your mother only gave you so they would complement her taste?

So you lay down, down, down, look at the sky
I'd let them drown, drown, drown eye for an eye

Goddamn, you suck it up to make life easier tonight
And they could spit you in the face, you still wouldn't start the fight
And all those plans, how are they workin'?
You feel at ease with your own mind?
Oh, you're still lyin' to yourself, bitch, have you ever even tried
To think not everything's about you? Nobody even cares
Who the fuck do you think loves you if you couldn't even care
To try and memorise their names when they're simple and they're plain
Unless you act like it's a game, how are you not even ashamed?
And all this money lyin' 'round, get up and take it to the bank
Did you really get so faceless? Did you already forget
What it was like when you were fifteen? Only halfway through the month
Your brother had to pay the groceries 'cause mommy spent it before lunch

And you lay down, down, down, look at the sky
I'd let them drown, drown, drown eye for an eye

Mh-mh, mh-mh-mh
Mh-mh, mh-mh-mh
Mh-mh-mh, mh-mh
Mh-mh-mh

Dirty teeth go deep, steppin' stones to sleep
If you don't wanna die, have you ever been alive?
Dirty teeth go deep, steppin' stones to sleep
If you don't wanna die, have you ever been alive?
Dirty teeth go deep, steppin' stones to sleep
If you don't wanna die, have you ever been alive?

He looked like he would wanna fuck you, so you remembered that guy's face
And on the way home from the bar, he came across your way
And oh, his name was nice and simple, didn't seem like one of those
Who'd take you just because they can? You pictured him without his clothes
But when it came down to the day, you finally asked him out
He said that right now he's not lookin', revealin' what you were about
Oh, you couldn't just believe it, there had to be somebody else
You gave everything you've got, you've lost everything you had
For some money you can't keep and a name too hard to spell
For an interesting story, for a secret you can't tell
