Little Eyes
Little Eyes, also known as "All These Little Eyes" in the credits, is a song that plays at New York City before the world's end. It was composed by Andrew Allanson, Naked Hugs, and Sam Stilwell, with lyrics by Niko Tsakalakos. The melody of Little Eyes also plays in Little Eyes Battle! and briefly in The Division Ends.
The BandCamp description has an extra verse as well as a few additional lyrics, which were written by Niko Tsakalakos after the song was recorded. Since they fit the story, they were included in the description in case anyone wanted to do a cover of the song with the extra lyrics.[1]
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Lyrics exclusive to the BandCamp version are highlighted.
All these little stars on the wall Wonder when the next one will fall All these little eyes staring down None of them hear me call
Reaching for the stars in the sky Thinking of the dreams gone awry All these little eyes start to blink Can’t even sleep a wink
All the blinding rays of the sun Twisting like the web I have spun All the little games I have played All of the damage that I have done
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Every single crack in the sky Every single sad lullaby All these little eyes staring down All that I still deny
Every little star starts to weep Every promise I couldn’t keep All these little stars in my head Turning from blue to red
Stop chasing me Stop haunting me Stop taunting me I’m a fool Such a fool But I am not Someone that you get to rule
This twisted dream Keeps twisting me Insisting I keep on Paying for All my sins Terrible sins You’re not welcome anymore
I don’t want to drown in the flames I don’t want to keep playing games I just want to know I’ll survive I want to feel alive
All these little stars in the sky All these little dreams gone awry Will I keep on dreaming awake? You were my worst mistake
All these little stars in the sky Wish I never told you goodbye Wish I would have known what to say And not let you slip away
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
