The tenth and second to last track on Brand new’s “Daisy” album. Throughout this album Jesse seems to question his faith in religion quite frequently, but more on this track then on any other track on the record.
[Refrain]
Stones in your eyes, stones in your eyes
Stones in your eyes, stones in your mouth
Stones in your ears, stones in your mind
Stones in your eyes, stones in your eyes
[Verse 1]
We live in a jar and think the lids the sky
You're hoping for a savior on your cross outside
Stars are just a million little fireflies
If the sun’s just a hole, what is the light outside?

[Chorus]
No one saved me, so I'm
Sinking, drowning, but I'm
Stuck within, but I know
Where you’re goin’
Isn’t safe tonight
[Verse 2]
I'm told that I should rest, but on the seventh day
I've created nothing, and I'm wide awake
So can I tie my key to your electric kite?
The rooster crowed twice, and you kissed me goodnight
There's too many saviors on my cross again
I know I'm never going to be a perfect man
Everyone's an oyster with their grain of sand
I love you most in song, but now it has to end
[Chorus]
No one saved me , so I'm
Sinking, drowning, but I'm
Stuck within, but I know
Where you’re goin’
Isn’t safe tonight
Where you’re goin’
Isn’t safe tonight
[Refrain]
Stones in your eyes, stones in your eyes
Stones in your eyes, stones in your eyes
Stones in your eyes, stones in your eyes
I'll run a million miles if you were first prize
[Chorus]
No one saved me, so I'm
Sinking, drowning, but I'm
Stuck within, but I know
Where you’re goin’
Isn’t safe tonight
Where you’re goin’
Isn’t safe tonight
Where you’re goin’
Isn’t safe tonight
