[Verse 1]
Somewhere in the basement
There's an ancient stagnant river I roam
And in the forest, somewhere lurking
There’s a million different species
Pumping blood that's very, very, very cold
And then I rise, see through the vast Amazon basin
And in the darkness, roaches climb the walls
Albino rats with blazing eyes concede defeat
And then devour their young
There's is no need for opinion
There are no causes here
There is a black box that’s sunken
I've been surviving there for years
[Pre-Chorus]
He woke up on the Jersey Shore
Spent the night on the ocean floor
Try to remember the latest (latest)
All forgotten, it made us (made us)
So embarrassed of how he was (ha!)
Mixed wasabi and black bean sauce (ha!)
Didn't know a thing about how he had gotten there
Didn't stop to ask the how or who or where
Another jet, another stream (jet stream)
I know it's another bad dream (bad dream)
But that's what he came for
[Chorus x2]
Hope in your eyes
Someone will fall
Into the trap
Carry them out again
Hope in your eyes
Someone will fall
Into the trap
Carry them out again
[Bridge]
Holding your breath while taking the waves in stride
Give up on this
Give up on them
Always discount the emotional depth of a miracle
[Verse 2]
Sometimes in the basement
There's an endless conversation I wrote
Then something sick or something sweet
Some kind of fragrance startles me
And I try wrenching the chains from my throat
So it goes
[Chorus x6]
Hope in your eyes
Someone will fall
Into the trap
Carry them out again
Hope in your eyes
Someone will fall
Into the trap
Carry them out again
Hope in your eyes
Someone will fall
Into the trap
Carry them out again
Hope in your eyes
Someone will fall
Into the trap
Carry them out again
Hope in your eyes
Someone will fall
Into the trap
Carry them out again
Hope in your eyes
Someone will fall
Into the trap
Carry them out again
Hope In Your Eyes was produced by Rob Crow & Peahix & Mike LeDoux & Marshall Pearlman.
Optiganally Yours released Hope In Your Eyes on Thu Mar 15 2018.
The band shared this story about “Hope In Your Eyes” in an August 17, 2018 Facebook post.
This song was originally called “Open Your Eyes,” but after the original recording of it got lost to a hard drive crash and Rob re-recorded the vocals, he added a distinct “h” sound to the beginning of “open.”...
