Songtext Logic of color Wye Oak

Logic of color

I'm playing a part, again
surrender and begin still clinging to my skin your skin
watch the leader depart and wait
the truth within the hour
the whole of it is ours to make

so the logic of color is all
the logic of my skin
the color of my eyes our eyes
understand it requires belief
the language that I know is written for the wise, the weak
talk to me and I’ll talk back
let’s lock eyes here in real time
your illogical device
my impossible demand

everything that you see is free
and so is what I made and so is what I claim to be
when the two are apart
it lives
and nothing is begun but when we are as one it gives
give to me and I’ll give back
let’s lock eyes here in real time
your illogical device
my illegible command

so the logic of color is all
the logic of my skin
the color of your eyes our eyes

so the logic of color is all
the logic of my skin
the color of my eyes our eyes

so the logic of color is all
the logic of my skin
the color of your eyes our eyes

so the logic of color is all
the logic of my skin
the color of your eyes our eyes
