Black Eyeliner (Demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, do you say
Can I borrow some of your black eyeliner
To make my eyes look just like yours?
Please, can you apply on my sleepwalking eyes open wide?
Half awake and half asleep

[Chorus]
Bloodshot deadbeat
Lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
Smeared down your face
Leaving traces of mistakes

[Verse 2]
Hey, what would you say
If I asked to kiss you one last time again?
Is it even worth the try?
If you can't reply, can I apply your black eyeliner one more time
To make your eyes look just like mine?

[Chorus]
Bloodshot deadbeat
Lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
Smeared down your face
Leaving traces of mistakes

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Bloodshot deadbeat
Lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
Smeared down your face
Leaving traces of mistakes

[Verse 2]
Hey, what would you say
If I asked to kiss you one last time again?
Is it even worth the try?
If you can reply, can you apply your black eyeliner one more time
To make your eyes look just like mine?

[Outro]
So
So

About

A demo recorded during the Nimrod sessions, featuring two guitar tracks– one with reverb, the other using an E-Bow.

Almost all of the lyrics on this song would be replaced, and a chorus written to replace the instrumental break, as it evolved into “Church on Sunday” and was released on Warning.
