about

DOG EYES addresses the inner shows we perform for ourselves; the little lies we comfort ourselves with, while deep down we know better.

lyrics

I lost my keys

Two times this week

I lost my cash to cigarette machines

I lost my appetite to TV screens

I lost my sleep to the party scene

Oh I fear my hands are empty

Every time I look, every time I look



I lost my youth to a bitter soul

I lost my manners to birth control

I lost my temper to being told

I lost my hopes to building walls

Oh I fear my hands are empty

Every time I look, every time I look



I shouldn’t have you

I shouldn’t have you

Don’t stand there with your dog eyes



I lost a friend to jealousy

I lost my man to reckless dreams

I lost a love to self pity

Oh I lost track, nothing I can keep

Oh I fear my hands are empty

Every time I look, every time I look



I shouldn’t have you

I shouldn’t have you

You’re still here with your dog eyes?

Fishing on a land that’s dry



Oh it’s a tough circle to break

Why you stand there with your dog eyes?

Go back to what I’m sure of

Rain on windshields, corners of bars

Before I lose my mind



There’s nothing I can keep, nothing I can keep



I shouldn’t have you

(Thought I would grow out of it, so hard to kick the habit)

I shouldn’t have you

(Better safe than sorry - it’ll bite me in the morning)

I lose everything I call mine

(I’ll go back to what I’m sure of - rain on windshields, corners of bars)

Don’t you stand there with your dog eyes
(Why you stand there with your dog eyes)

Don’t tell me, gonna be different this time

LIJO Utrecht, Netherlands

LIJO mirrors the weirdness of human behaviour in music.

“There’s an element of Kate Bush and PJ Harvey to it - that oddball female solo artist quality that’s rare to find these days.” - Thnksfrthrvw (UK)
