Black Eye Lyrics
For twenty-one years
Told to face reality
But all the truth gave me was a black eye
There's something to be said
For ignorance
So I wear it like a bulletproof vest
And I wanna marry my delusions
So we can run away, run away like lovers do
'Cause I'm in love with a lie, a lie
And I fight to keep it alive, alive
I'm safe inside my fantasy
My delusions wrap their arms around me
'Cause I'm in love with a lie, a lie, oh
I took my black eye
And turned it blind
Now I don't see, I don't see no pain at all
You'll never run out
Of vitamin D
And you're the world imagining the sun
And I wanna marry my delusions
So we can run away, run away like lovers do
'Cause I'm in love with a lie, a lie
And I fight to keep it alive, alive
I'm safe inside my fantasy
My delusions wrap their arms around me
'Cause I'm in love with a lie, a lie, oh
