Wye Oak - Shriek

Schools of Eyes

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
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"
So show, the spark
Can we be wise?
Do we have the essence?
I see schools of eyes
Where there should be faces
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"
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"

To mind the time
To spite the days
To hold the signs
To be amazed
