Schools of Eyes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do I sleep
The thought is keeping me awake
I am free
The knowing keeps me in my place
An invisible tether
Is somehow stronger
But my hand is mine
Even when you hold it

[Chorus 1]
When there is time
Then I will answer
“See we have forgot”
A hundred days
Then I’ll remember “see we have forgot”
You hold a sign that seems forever
“See we have forgot”
We are amazed
And I will answer “see we have forgot”

[Verse 2]
So show, the spark
Can we be wise
Do we have the essence
I see schools of eyes
Where there should be faces

[Chorus 2]
When there is time
Then I will answer
“See we have forgot”
A hundred days
Then I’ll remember “see we have forgot”
You hold a sign that seems forever
“see we have forgot”
You are amazed
And I will answer “see we have forgot”

[Outro]
To mind the time
To spite the days
To hold the signs
To be amazed
