Mark King Lyrics
"Half Written Songs"

Half written songs, there's a life in the promise
It's funny to see my fears here on the page
Words breaking my fall
I hear you call from another room

Bird at the window
Its wings beating my thoughts
So much outside of me
Couldn't read inside of me

My heart wakes up my head
And my eyes raw read
Now it seems
That I was dead

But you washed my eyes where they bled
Now there's no more devils dancing 'round my bed
As you watch my face in the sky
In the light, I see the devil pass me by

Feast on the table
I could be persuaded
It's been so long I know
It's hard to step from the shadows

I've seen angels die and I didn't know why
But it made me want to cry
My eyes raw red
Now it seems that I was dead

But you washed my eyes where they bled
Now there's no more devils dancing round my bed
As you watch my face in the sky
In the light, I see the devil pass me by

But you washed my eyes where they bled
Now there's no more devils dancing round my bed
As you watch my face in the sky
In the light, I see the devil pass me by

Menace of the world
It gnaws at your sleep
Don't open the door
The fear runs too deep

Through your sleep
Don't open the door
The fear runs too deep
Menace of the world
