April's Atlas - Midnight Eyes Lyrics

It's a dusk fog
The grass coated in mildew
A dim memory
But the start of something new
The shadows I can touch with my own two hands
But I can't put a finger on the daylight
Because the sun never rose again
When he lost balance and fell from the sky

And now I see through

Midnight eyes
Swarms of fruit flies
Kissing my mind
Then exploding in the sky
And I
Never thought my bones
Could feel lighter than my headstone
Am I alone now that I'm a ghost?

These flames that fueled my heart
Are lost in time's embers
And each day gets harder
To remember
(Remember)

Leaches in my hands
Are they dangerous or my friends?
The wolves somewhere in the darkness
Will I ever run with them?
The moon sprinkles amnesia in the sky
In this beautiful, endless night
But I still itch with the feeling that
I'm leaving something behind

And now all my friends are

Midnight eyes
Swarms of fruit flies
Kissing my mind
Then exploding in the sky
And I
Never thought my bones
Could feel lighter than my headstone
Now this plateau is all I know

These flames that fueled my heart
Are lost in time's embers
And each day gets farther
Into forever
Memory's armor
Erodes with the weather
So each day gets harder
To remember
(Remember)

Surrender
To these midnight eyes

The days were clouded
When I was still alive
But now I am boundless
Looking through these midnight eyes

And now it's a dusk fog
The grass coated in mildew
A dim memory
But the start of something new
