Bright Eyes - A Scale, A Mirror And Those Indifferent Clocks Lyrics
Here is a scale. Weigh it out and you'll find, easily,
More than sufficient doubt that these colors, you see
Were picked in advance by some careful hand
With an absolute concept of beauty.
And they color the eyes of your former lovers.
Hers were green like July,
Except when she cried they were red.
Now I know a disease that these doctors can't treat.
You contract on the day you accept all you see
Is a mirror and a mirror is all it can be.
A reflection of something we're missing.
And language just happened. It was never planned.
In the room of my house where the light's never been
Waiting for this day to end.
And these clocks keep unwinding and completely ignore
Everything that we hate or adore.
Once the page of a calendar is turned it's no more.
So tell me then, what was it for?
Oh tell me, what was it for?

This is my anorexic song.

I love this song, a bunch of years without listening to this song. (2.0)
"And language just happened, it was never planned" my favorite lyrics of all-time.

This song is an achievement in so many ways...
I love you Conor Oberst
i wish this song was longer it's just so beautiful
I've thought the same thing. You don't want it to end
thats what make it beatiful (perdón por mi inglés)
I have Bulimia nervosa abuse amphetamines & laxatives compulsive exercise too vomiting as well beautiful song.....
This was the first song I ever heard from Bright Eyes and that had to be almost 14 or fifteen years ago at the height of the worst of my teenage years.
I love this song and its the reason I tryed to listen to about 30 other songs from bright eyes but I only liked about 3 out of 30ish. They were good songs. I just didn't love them. I liked them a bit but not enough to put em on my computer. They were really well written though. Nice words.
it's almost too painful to listen to this album
The best version of this song is on motion sickness. The emotion he puts into it is amazing.
Consciousness
the music isnt about how many views or comments its about how much u love it not how many people do
This is just an amazing song. Great lyrics that really speak to me.
I commented. Bright eyes, you guys, you just get it,
you understand it all.
