Silhouette

Your eyes, followed me here Your eyes, seamless and sure They leave me broken and in need of a cure Your eyes, followed me here Your eyes, sifting my soul They leave me broken and forge diamonds from the coal They race me along The infinite synapse of white lines And then while chasing the dawn With storybook syntax Your eyes slit the throat Of all I know About myself in this life This silhouette lie And your eyes, speaking in tongues Vigilant still, filling my lungs Testing my will They leave me broken and bruised and bleeding Your eyes, resting in flame Leave me breathless again Like hydrogen Split on fault lines Or ten years living with Exposure to radon Your eyes slit the throat Of all I know About myself in this life This silhouette lie Your eyes, your eyes Speaking in tongues Vigilant still, and always Your eyes (oh) your eyes (leave me broken, and bruised, and bleeding) Filling my lungs Testing my will Oh, you slit the throat Of all I know About myself in this life This silhouette lie You slit my throat Because I know That this life is a lie So slit my throat
