Lyrics Cage The Elephant - Right Before My Eyes

timber shakes
these trails they are derailed
phony false and frail
an empty ocean
lost our way with no direction home
golden needles names we take in vain
find it harder to remain
nothing sacred
waiting on that explanation

right before my eyes
saw the whole world lose control
the whole world lost control
before my eyes
uh huh
I fell through the floor
couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
it breaks my mind
uh huh

hold her dirty hands over the flames
getting pleasure from the pain
softly screaming
the pistol that she raised has spoken
golden needles names we take in vain
find it harder to remain
nothing sacred
waiting on that explanation

right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
the whole world lost control
before my eyes
uh huh
I fell through the floor
couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
it breaks my mind
uh huh

everything I thought I knew fell to the side
time went on and on
can't see past my own eyes
past my eyes
past my eyes
past my eyes

right before my eyes
saw the whole world lose control
the whole world lost control
before my eyes
uh huh
I fell through the floor
couldn't take it anymore
can't take this anymore
it breaks my mind
uh huh
