Splinters
from Instincts by Antiskeptic
lyrics
I HAVE A SPLINTER IN MY EYE AS WELL
LIKE A MARCHING BAND THROUGH THE GATES OF HELL
EVERY NIGHT I LIE AWAKE
WITH A SCENE FROM A PLAY THAT I CANNOT CHANGE
WELL I HATE TO DISAPPOINT YOU
LEAD YOU ON OR CURB YOUR CHASE
BUT I GOT THESE HORRID ICE COLD MEMORIES
TWISTING KNIVES INSIDE MY CHEST
IN MY HAND A SHARPENED AXE TO SMASH THE CHAINS
BUT MY MEMORY IS A GONG, SWINGING MALLETS TAKING AIM
DROWNING IN THE WORDS AND THOUGHTS
MY GOD I WISH I COULD FORGET
I’LL LET BYGONES BE BYGONES
BUT CAN I LEARN TO FORGIVE MYSELF
SPLINTER IN MY EYE AS WELL
SPLINTER IN MY EYE AS WELL
SPLINTER IN MY EYE AS WELL WOAH
I HAVE A SPLINTER IN MY EYE
I’LL FORCE IT OUT OR SO I’LL TRY
LIKE A MARCHING BAND THROUGH THE GATES OF HELL
EVERY NIGHT I LIE AWAKE
WITH A SCENE FROM A PLAY THAT I CANNOT CHANGE
WELL I HATE TO DISAPPOINT YOU
LEAD YOU ON OR CURB YOUR CHASE
BUT I GOT THESE HORRID ICE COLD MEMORIES
TWISTING KNIVES INSIDE MY CHEST
IN MY HAND A SHARPENED AXE TO SMASH THE CHAINS
BUT MY MEMORY IS A GONG, SWINGING MALLETS TAKING AIM
DROWNING IN THE WORDS AND THOUGHTS
MY GOD I WISH I COULD FORGET
I’LL LET BYGONES BE BYGONES
BUT CAN I LEARN TO FORGIVE MYSELF
SPLINTER IN MY EYE AS WELL
SPLINTER IN MY EYE AS WELL
SPLINTER IN MY EYE AS WELL WOAH
I HAVE A SPLINTER IN MY EYE
I’LL FORCE IT OUT OR SO I’LL TRY
