lyrics

A quick glance up as she forces a smile,
If she gets through today she'll be alright for a while,
Tonight she won't sleep in her usual style,
Who made those blue eyes cold? What made those blue eyes old?
She's got big dreams but she's not asleep,
Low self-esteem and no self-belief,
She's got secrets but they're hers to keep,
Who made those blue eyes cold? Who said those eyes couldn't hold the world?

...She'll never say a word about pain
Take it like a triumph though there is no gain...

A quick glance up as she forces a smile,
If she gets through today she'll be alright for a while,
Tonight she won't sleep in her usual style,
Who made those blue eyes cold? What made those blue eyes old?
She brings the drinks with an extra weight,
Pretends that she's just doing great,
Look at her, it's in her gait,
Who made those blue eyes cold? Who said those eyes couldn't hold the world?

...She'll never say a word about pain
Take it like a triumph though there is no gain...

The neon bar sign's weary glow draws her to her second home
All she sees and all she knows is who made those blue eyes cold...

All three members are involved in songwriting; ignoring genre and a shared surreal take on life makes for a highly individual sound.

The Neon Madmen's debut album CLIMB was released in January 2015, and they're super happy about it. ... more
