Bright Eyes

And I sing and sing of awful things
The pleasure that my sadness brings
As my fingers press onto the strings
In yet another clumsy chord
Haligh, haligh, an awful lie
This weight will now be satisfied
I'm gonna give you only one reply
I know not who I am

Bright Eyes

Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh

For a sunrise or a sunset,
You're manic or you're depressed,
Will you ever feel okay?

Bright Eyes

Sunrise, Sunset

But now I'm confused. Is this death really you?
And do these dreams have any meaning?
No. No, I think it's more like a ghost that's been following us both.
Something vague that we're not seeing,
Something more like a feeling.
