about

When u look at dat person an go "whoaaaa duuuude"

lyrics

You got those eyes that make me look behind back to myself

Mmm, yeah

I gotta say it’s somethin’ special somethin’ dangerous

Mmm, yeah

Whatever you do, let it be true; don’t fool me, don’t fool yourself



And I can see for miles

A thousand multicolored tiles

Explode and dance in your eyes



And if you’re fakin’

It’s my heart you’re breakin’

I separate from reality

I lose all commonality

Your eyes can take me on a magic tile ride



So I step up to one of the tiles an’ I, an’ I gaze deeply into it

An’ I see…I see somethin’ I didn’t wanna see man

And it’s me



I can’t see where I’ve got to

Or where the spiral heads

And I cannot choose what to cling to

Of all my many dreads



So I look ‘im straight in the eyes an’ I say, I say whaddayou want?

There’s gotta be somethin’ in there man, give it to me, give it to me, c’mon

Whaddayou want, I can’t read minds, an’ he says

Then why do you try so hard?



I can’t see where I’ve got to

Or where the spiral heads

And I cannot choose what to cling to

Of all my many dreads



I can do this



Left, right, left, right

Left, right, left, right

Left, right, left, right



I know I’ll break through

I guess I should thank you

I came to terms with mortality

Despite all my brutality

Your eyes just took me on a magic tile ride




Your eyes tell lies that take me far away from sense of self

Mmm, yeah

But there’s no way it’s somethin’ willful, somethin’ cognizant

Mmm, yeah

It may not be true, or even from you; I’ll fool me, you fool yourself



They’re not your eyes

They’re not your eyes

They’re not your eyes



They’re mine
