Lyrics Eyes for Volume - The Microphones

Eyes for Volume

Volume
You can see it through my eyes
And hear it
When I’m wide awake
My eyes
Mostly stay shut when I sing
Just like when I’m asleep
I have
Dreams about things I will make
And plans I never do
In sleep
I record these songs in my head
Drumsets
Taller than a house and bass amps
Knocking over trees
Robots
With five or six tape decks in them;
For making tapes
Things change;
When I wake up I see things
For how they are
I don’t have
A body made of tape or headphones
Attached to my head
These songs
Help me trick myself and pretend
I’m made of sound
