Atlas Eyes

Emma Louise · Vs. Head Vs. Heart [2013]

Slim faced child

The memories slide

Against my mind

And laying on my bedroom floor, young

With your arms crossed to the ceilings

When the aliens came

Oh, and I thought we were safe



But you saw ghosts

In the hallways of our home

And you ran with your hands on your eyes

Wake me up after midnight

With your atlas eyes

Your atlas eyes



And father cried

Hands tight on the wheel

Even heroes break

And walking with your backpack on

Into a white room where smoke filled your eyes



And the monsters came

Oh and I thought you were safe



But you thought you saw grandma

At the table

Well, did she speak as well

And I thought god would save us

Did we drink in hell



Slim faced child

The memories slide

Against my mind

And laying on my bedroom floor, young

With your arms crossed to the ceilings

When the aliens came

Oh, and I thought we were safe
