about

The second song of Armstrong's 2022 singles - "Mary’s Eyes", an 80s inspired rock pop track about a girl who never achieved her dreams, watching as all her friends go off to do great things while she is stuck in her hometown.

lyrics

Mary lives in the same house
Never made it outside
Couldn't cut her teeth in it
But God knows she tried

Combs her hair in the doorway
Thinks of all her nice dreams
She raised a cane but put no concrete underneath

But she knows where all her friends are
But she knows where all her friends are

Cold in Mary's Eyes
God it wears her out
God it wears her out
Long tearing at night
God it wears her out
God it wears her out

Takes her car out to nowhere
Playing dead feels the same
When she digs the same notch in the doorframe

Cutting up all the tapings
All chipped paint and ripped tights
No this can't be all she's got in the headlights

Cause she knows where all her friends are
Cause she knows where all her friends are

Cold in Mary's Eyes
God it wears her out
God it wears her out
Long tearing at night
God it wears her out
God it wears her out

Cold in Mary's Eyes
God it wears her out
God it wears her out
Long tearing at night
God it wears her out
God it wears
