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 faultlines
Or ten years living with
Exposure to radon
Your eyes, Your eyes
Speaking in tongues
Vigilant still, and always
Filling my lungs
Testing my will
You slit my throat
Because I know
That this life is a lie
So slit my throat
