lyrics >>  BILLIONS OF EYES - (Aly Spaltro) 

when gravity's a palm pushing down on your head
Like the devil's got a paw dug in your shoulder 
and the other one is rubbing your back
But the kitchen in the new place has a window 
yeah you can grow basil on the sill 
maybe you can call your neighbors by name now

berries on the dash is the sweetest kind of living
Still this feels like eating the meat of the mountain
It's all grit and gristle i can't chew and swallow, 
I'm gnawing my way back home
the clouds look a lot like wool gone through the wash
I check my phone for the time but I still wear my watch
yeah i’m confused about how i’m supposed to connect to anything now

the kind of high I like is when I barely make the train 
And the people with a seat smile big at me cause they know the feeling
and for a millisecond we share a look like a family does
like we have inside jokes 
like we could call each other by little nicknames
and I could tell the story of how
My great grandmothers sister was deemed a saint
how they exhumed her body after years of being buried 
and they found she hadn't even begun to sully
so they moved her again, straight into the Vatican

I think of all the billions of eyes 
all looking at something different at the same time
and i feel nauseous 
some days i can only see into my suitcase 
it's got everything i need 
plus some superstitious things i may also need
"music Soothes the savage beast"
the pilot says to me and he asks me to sing
but now is not the time
I just want to fall into a pile of warm laundry 
i just wanna keep very very quiet yeah

it’s june where you sleep and july where I land 
thought I saw you on the platform in amsterdam
and i nearly missed my train 
and i felt so defeated til i jumped on to see all the warm smiles were for me 
i made my train and it made me so happy
i made my train and it made me forget everything
it made me forget, made me forget made me forget made me forget everything
it made me forget made me forget made me forget made me forget made me forget everything

To Be Weak

The Hearts Of Men

When I go don't cry for me
In my fathers arms I'll be
The wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed and I'll be whole

Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus' face
And I will not be ashamed
For my savior knows my name

It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away

Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie
Come and eat from heaven's store
Come and drink and thirst no more

So weep not for me my friend
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to him
Who will raise the dead again

It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away

All my tears (Ane Brun cover)
