Eyes in the Darkness Lyrics

Eyes in the darkness,
eyes in the darkness.

I empty my pocket,
I wait for you.
But I bite off the tip of my tongue without a sound.
On the inside mirror, I call for you,
with a thimble's touch to the cold wind brush.
I wonder each night as it comes without a sound.

Eyes in the darkness,
eyes in the darkness,
strong beneath the leaves.
They got eyes in the darkness,
eyes in the darkness,
drift through the reeds.
Just take my call.
Just take my call, love.

I empty my pocket,
I wait for you.
But I strum down the tips of my thumbs without a sound.
On the inside mirror, I call for you
There's a followed hush, in the cold dead dust.
I wonder each night as it comes without a sound.

Eyes in the darkness,
Eyes in the darkness.
Strong beneath the leaves.
They got eyes in the darkness,
eyes in the darkness.
Drift through the reeds.

Eyes in the darkness,
Eyes in the darkness.
Strong beneath the leaves.
They got eyes in the darkness,
eyes in the darkness.
Drift through the reeds.
Coming through the reeds, yeah!

Just take my call.
Just take my call, love.
Just take my call!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
