Silhouette

Your eyes followed me here

Your eyes seamless and sure

The leave me broken and in need of a cure

Your eyes followed me hear

Your eyes sifting my soul

They leave me broken hands, those diamonds

They lace me along

Giving synapse of white lines

Then chasing the dawn

Story book syntax

Your eyes slit the throat of all I know

About myself and this life

Silhouette lies

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

Leaving me breathless again

Like hydrogen spreak on fault lines

Or dead, kissing me with exposure to radon

Your eyes slit the throat of all I know

About myself and this life

Silhouette lies

Your eyes, Your eyes

Speaking in tongues

Vigilant still, lead our way

Filling my lungs

Testing my will

You slit the throat, of all I know

About myself and this life

Silhouette lies

You slit my throat

Because I know

That this life is a lie

So slit my throat
