Tired Eyes - Aidan Pohl & 6TH STREET

Well, he shot four men in a cocaine deal And he left them lyin' in an open field Full of old cars with bullet holes in the mirrors. He tried to do his best but he could not. Please take my advice, please take my advice Please take my advice. Open up the tired eyes, Open up the tired eyes. Well, it wasn't supposed to go down that way. But they burned his brother, you know, And they left him lying in the driveway. They let him down with nothin'. He tried to do his best but he could not. Please take my advice, please take my advice Please take my advice. Open up the tired eyes, Open up the tired eyes. Well tell me more, tell me more, tell me more I mean was he a heavy doper or was he just a loser? He was a friend of yours. What do you mean, he had bullet holes in his mirrors? He tried to do his best but he could not. Please take my advice, please take my advice Please take my advice. Open up the tired eyes, Open up the tired eyes. Please take my advice, please take my advice Please take my advice. Open up the tired eyes, Open up the tired eyes.

Sisters and Brothers, We have surely lost our way. In strip malls full of cancer, And a pathetic rain. Mother, sweet mother, Please don't discipline your hands. Just kiss me in the morning, In your dirtiest pants. We will find our way. We will find our way. There is beauty in this land, But I don't often see it. There is beauty in this land, But I don't often feel it. People are flowers, Musicians are Cowards! Let's argue in the kitchen, For hours and hours. Tomorrow is a travesty, Tomorrow should be ours. Musicians are Cowards! Musicians are Cowards! Musicians are Cowards! Musicians are Cowards! Musicians are Cowards! Musicians are Cowards! Musicians are Cowards! Musicians are Cowards! The soldiers with their specialists, And the pigs with their guns cannot stop, The lost ones and the desparate ones and the driven ones. The soldiers with their cigarettes, And the pigs with their guns cannot stop, The lonesome ones and the desparate ones and the smart ones. So come on friends, To the barricades again. So come on friends, To the barricades again. So come on friends, To the barricades again. So come on friends, To the barricades again. We will find our way, We will find our way.

You were right when you said I would want it all someday You probably knew that you were and I can just hear you say With a sarcastic "whoah" and an "I'm always right" yeah I know And I'll admit I get excited and I act on impulse It's a habit that I have but it's not bad for improv So take into account when you're calling me out That you like it sometimes We both knew this could end We came pretty damn close to it You say you drive me mad so I drive you home And then you fly back again And we weren't wrong to say we promise we both Were just so young there was no that we could know Our pockets will be with each other's change And I won't spend it I would rather go broke And keep my soul there's so much more I want that gold Cause those chains got nothing on the way you say "You lack in common sense, You've blind advantages I don't know Guess you're just lucky, boy" Boy I get a new favorite character every time that you Impersonate a disney film or kid's cartoon Now olaf and louise sound less like themselves They're more you for me I'm growing out of growing out of things like shoes and finding Telling moms and other loved ones that you care a sign of Being weak or afraid I hate the concept of time Hate from the moment you stayed we both We both knew this could end We came pretty damn close to it You say you drive me mad so I drive you home And then you fly back again And we weren't wrong to say we promise we both Were just so young there was no that we could know Our pockets will be with each other's change And I won't spend it I would rather go broke And keep my soul there's so much more I want that gold Cause those chains got nothing on the way you say "You lack in common sense, You've blind advantages I don't know Guess you're just lucky" I've been called modest for taking honesty over wordplay It's well it's it's honestly Honesty's the only play I have to work with I'm bad at being nice to you Even worse at just believing But I'm taking strides to find inside me Just a better human being Look, I know that I have room to grow I'm naive, short-sighted, weak, unknown Blind past just my eyesight Still wondering how I'll pay off loans Financially I'm breaking School's probably not the move right now You said that from the start It's another thing you're right about But I'm plenty rich in other ways Like a passion and a talent And the same friend group since pre-k I'll probably never understand just how Ridiculously lucky I am To have the family I was randomly dropped in And that's where you come in On top of everything that I was already content with It just so happens that you're an actor of the same age Same grade same school and absolutely beautiful That's all minus the specifics The shows and the sheeps and the pigs and the chickens There's a lot more behind it But that story's really long If you really wanna hear it It's in all my other songs I'm sad with confidence I'm blind but managing I'm just a lucky Boy
