[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Forgotten eyes
are the ones
which we lose
Forgotten hand
s are the ones
which we choo
se
To let go of,
but it is no l
ess a bruise
On the collect
ive arm keepin
g us high and
gone
Forgotten danc
e is the one l
eft at birth
Forgotten plan
ts in the foss
ils of earth
And they've lo
ng passed but
they are no le
ss the dirt
Of the common
soil keeping u
s dry and warm
[Chorus]
The wound has
no direction
Everybody need
s a home and d
eserves protec
tion, hmm-mm
[Verse 2]
Hollow-eyed on
Eddie street
no sirens to h
ear
Just trash and
soiled needle
s clawing the
veneer
And no crying
but it is no l
ess a tear
On the common
cheek with whi
ch we smile
Hollow-eyed on
Eddie, is it
they or is it
I
Is it me who i
s more hollow
as I'm quickly
#
passing by?
And the poison
is killing th
em, but then s
o am I
As I turn away
#
[Chorus]
The wound has
no direction
Everybody need
s a home and d
#
eserves protec
tion, hmm-mm
[Outro]
Forgotten tong
ue is the lang
uage of love
Forgotten tong
ue is the lang
uage of love
Forgotten tong
ue is the lang
uage of love
Forgotten tong
ue
[Outro]
