Emily And - Sightsong Lyrics

Western medicine
Please fix my vision
Tell me what to see
What prescription's right for me

When I can't read a face
I don't know how to act
Reactions all mismatched
Doctor, we gotta fix that

Please replace my corneas
With transitions lenses
Soon I'll forget how bright the sun can be

Counteract these cataracts
Before I go blind as a bat
And make all colors stay
Within their truest, realest lines

Please exchange my irises
For instagram filters
Cause everything looks prettier that way

Point lasers through these windows
These windows to my soul
Retinal perfection is my one clear goal

Night-time and it's time for lullabies
Time to take this plastic off my eyes
Doc, it's not that I forget to take them out
I just wanna see what I'm dreaming about

Please find me a saline solution
To my problem of macular pollution
Please grant me some faux-clarity
For to mend a myopic reality

Correct this astigmatism of mine
To fit this stigmatic design
Align my visionary positions
To those of what-ever omniscient optician

Someday I'll wake up blind
No sense of space or time
No, I don't understand
But I know it's unwise
All these doctors in my waking eyes

Night-time and it's time for lullabies
Time to take this plastic of my eyes
But doc, I'm young, and my blood vessels are still plenty
And I just wanna dream in 20/20
