Alex Izenberg - The Wraith Behind Our Eyes Lyrics

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved, my darlin
The birds of a feather flock together the preacher left a dead man runnin

I do as I say but don't say as I do
Easy come easy go with the pain that you'll never know
My ceaseless visions carry light and law
Of a modern love's funeral pyre

Dreamt a dark night
And October skies
Illuminate your heart strings law
They played a soft hymn
That spoke of the myth of
The wraith behind our eyes

Enough is enough, everybody's got a silver lining and I just wanna paint it gold
My faith could move mountains with a hand to hold
But we're fighting fire with fire

Man proposes and heaven disposes
Of the big wheels turnin'
Back towards the warmest blue
They say that money makes the earth move
With names that kept stolen kisses

Dreamt a dark night
And October skies
Illuminate your heart strings law
They played a soft hymn
That spoke of the myth of
The wraith behind our eyes
