[Lyric] One Closed Eye (W. B. Wooten)

[Verse 1]
Do the flowers heed
These pointless conversations?
What are their expectations of me?
I can't seem
To find time to myself now
When all I do is yell, how could I?

[Chorus]
I've got a light
Don't try to fight it
It feels good to hurt yourself with
One closed eye

[Verse 2]
I see you
The black dog in my bedroom
The flowers that are in bloom are
Just to spite me
It feels wrong
The sirens and their love songs
The sound of those that I trample
On rings brightly
And I can't see
[Chorus]
I've got a light
Please don't deny it
It feels good to hurt yourself with
One closed eye

[Bridge]
It's not a fight
If it's unrequited
And I'm sitting on the shelf with
One closed eye

[Chorus]
I've got a light
Don't try to fight it
It feels good to hurt yourself
'Cause you're too busy with someone
Else
And I'm sitting on the shelf with
One closed eye
