Liner Notes

#acousticonetake #acousticrock
I put “blank” and “glitter” together, fit in a few more words from the skirmish word list, then added verses about my own current issues with lips and eyes. Singing the praises of the superficial.

Lyrics

This week my lips look strange
There’s been some kind of change
It really looks like I
Got them injected
Maybe it happened at night
On a flying saucer flight
Aliens got me
And I never suspected

Meanwhile
I can make it a style

Fill in the blank with glitter
This day will soon be over
And people will only remember
Your lips and eyes

Words fade to gray
Before the end of the day
No one here can say
What’s inside
No
It’s only lips and eyes

My eyes have been shrinking for years
Maybe it’s the salt in the tears
Or maybe it’s caused
By the cold of winter

But really they’re trying to make good
On a traumatic childhood
They’re smaller now but somehow
They look bigger

And as for me
There are more things to see

Fill in the blank with glitter
This day will soon be over
And people will only remember
Your lips and eyes

Words fade to gray
Before the end of the day
No one here can say
What’s inside
No
It’s only lips and eyes

Only the lips and eyes

Some great lines, images and ideas here, the superficiality of modern life. Good work.

Love how you sing "it's only lips and eyes" in the hook.

Lip injection alien abductions is such a funny image. I approve! And yes, the cold makes the eyes smaller. I'm convinced.

I had a lot of.fun listening to this song!
