D#              D#            D#      A#
Forgotten eyes are the ones which we lose
D#              D#             D#       A#
Forgotten hands are the ones which we choose
        D#       G#maj7 Cm          A#
To let go of, but it is no less a bruise
       D#         D#               D#      A#
On the collective arm keeping us high and gone

Forgotten dance is the one left at birth
Forgotten plants in the fossils of earth
And they've long passed but they are
no less the dirt
Of the common soil keeping us dry and warm

Chorus:
    D#       D#maj7 D#7
The wound has no direction
           G#           D#             Fm
Everybody needs a home and deserves protection‚
    A#
hmm-mm

Hollow-eyed on Eddie Street‚ no sirens to hear
Just trash and soiled needles clawing the veneer
And no crying but it is no less a tear
On the common cheek with which we smile

Hollow-eyed on Eddie‚ is it they or is it I?
Is it me who is more hollow as
I'm quickly passing by?
And the poison is killing them, but then so am I
As I turn away

Chorus:
The wound has no direction
Everybody needs a home and deserves protection,
hmm-mm

Forgotten tongue is the language of love
Forgotten tongue is the language of love
Forgotten tongue is the language of love
Forgotten tongue
