[00:00.00]The Center Of The World - Bright Eyes (明亮的眼睛)
[00:09.52]At the center of the world there is a statue of a girl
[00:54.17]
[00:55.58]She is standing near a well with a bucket bare and dry
[01:07.87]I went and looked her in the eyes and she turned me into sand
[01:20.04]This clumsy form that I despise it scattered easy in her hand
[01:32.36]And it came to rest upon a beach with a million others there
[01:44.95]We sat and waited for the sea to stretch out
[01:52.75]So that we could disappear into the endlessness of blue
[02:02.05]
[02:02.86]Into the horror of the truth
[02:08.60]We are far less than we knew
[02:14.43]Yes we are far less than we knew
[02:20.11]But we knew what we could taste
[02:25.97]Girls found honey to drench our hands
[02:32.03]Men cut marble to mark our graves
[02:37.53]Saying that we will need something to remind more and us song
[02:42.77]
[02:44.46]Of all the sweetness that has passed through us
[02:49.44]The priests dressed children for a choir
[02:53.24]But found no joy in what was sung
[02:58.62]The funeral had begun in the middle of the day
[03:08.40]When you drive home to your place from that job that makes you sleep
[03:19.21]Back to the thoughts that keep you awake long after
[03:26.28]Night has come to claim any light
[03:33.05]That still remains in the corner of the frame that you put around her face
[03:46.19]
[03:46.75]Two pills just weren't enough
[03:53.37]The alarm clock is going off but you are not waking up
[04:01.50]This isn't happening happening happening happening happening It is
