Schools of Eyes Lyrics

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”
we are amazed
and I'll remember “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”
we 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

Cover art for Schools of Eyes  lyrics by Wye Oak

So happy to see lyrics up for this, I've been looking forever! Thank you!

A couple of things though:

"the knowing keeps me in my place" I'm fairly certain is "and no one keeps me in my place"..

...and that all the instances of "forgot" are actually "forgotten", with the last syllable is layered under the beginning of the next line. It makes more sense grammatically as well.

Thoughts??

Thanks, but these are official lyircs
