We Think We Have Eyes Lyrics
The handle on the door
You cannot touch
The knot in the wood
You cannot cut
A good thing... we had too much
Smoke is rising above
The fire is getting hotter in the wind
Coal blackened eyes looking on...
Going blind
The splinter deep inside
Your second skin
Princess feeling nothing underneath
I wonder, does it ever feel the same?
Everybody's asking
When you are ever coming back
I tell them that you're sorry
But you're frozen in your tracks
The fox in the headlights
Never knowing it is wrong
Staring down the righteous road
It's lonely and it's long
Photographs and pictures
Reminders we won't be going through
I wonder
Do they even look the same?
Now it's going faster
And we're stuck here in this place
The water is getting deeper,
Cutting lines into my face
The lights are out and broken,
It looks different in the dark
They are out setting fires,
Kill the means to make your mark
Another slippery stone
We thought it was dry
Flat enough to stand
And trust until we die
But we don't really know
We think we are wise
Deaf, dumb and blind
We think we have eyes
You cannot touch
The knot in the wood
You cannot cut
A good thing... we had too much
Smoke is rising above
The fire is getting hotter in the wind
Coal blackened eyes looking on...
Going blind
The splinter deep inside
Your second skin
Princess feeling nothing underneath
I wonder, does it ever feel the same?
When you are ever coming back
I tell them that you're sorry
But you're frozen in your tracks
The fox in the headlights
Never knowing it is wrong
Staring down the righteous road
It's lonely and it's long
Reminders we won't be going through
I wonder
Do they even look the same?
And we're stuck here in this place
The water is getting deeper,
Cutting lines into my face
The lights are out and broken,
It looks different in the dark
They are out setting fires,
Kill the means to make your mark
We thought it was dry
Flat enough to stand
And trust until we die
But we don't really know
We think we are wise
Deaf, dumb and blind
We think we have eyes

I love this song and I could be wrong but the lyrics sound more like this :
"The handle on the door you cannot touch The knot in the wood you cannot touch A good thing we had too much
Smoke is rising above The fire's getting hotter in the wind And your coal blackened eyes looking on, Going blind
The splinter deep inside your second skin The prince is feeling nothing underneath And I wonder does it even feel the same.
Everybody's asking when you're ever coming back and you (I'll?) tell them that you're sorry but you're frozen in your tracks; the fox is in the headlights, never knowing it is wrong staring down the righteous road it's lonely and it's long.
Photographs and pictures that we drew remind us that we won't be going through and I wonder do they even look the same I wonder do they even look the same?
Now it's going faster and we're stuck here in this place the water's getting deeper cutting lines into my face the lights are out and broken it looks different in the dark they're out there setting fires, kill the means to make your mark.
Another slippery stone We thought that it was dry and flat enough to stand and trust until we die we don't really know we think that we are wise deaf and dumb and blind, we think that we have eyes."
Oops. Second line: cut* not touch. Should've proofed
