EYES - Limbs

You’re at the back of my mind

On the inside of my eyes

And when I drift off at night

I see you in my sleep

A familiar foreign tongue

«Wash your hands clean and follow the Son»

Shelter your flock from the wolf

I see your fire in his eyes

Relentless, burning brighter than the sun

Unyielding, boring through my skull

Judge and jury

Ignore the witness

Judge and jury

Just tie the noose

You’re at the back of my mind

On the inside of my eyes

And when I drift off at night

I see you in my sleep

Lead them not into temptation

But deliver them from singularity

Twisted words and broken wrists

Framing a heart to your liking

Birthed in your eyes

Was a fire I thought extinguished

By years of failing paragons

And numbing unfulfillment

I’ll bathe in your flames

Every ounce of pain will be worth it’s weight

Fall on the blade

Impale myself

Absorb the blame

Turn my insides out

Head weighed down by fruitless thoughts

Rewrite this chapter, turn back the clock

I fear my neck will snap under the weight

Before I reach the gallows

Cut in half and left to bleed

Bare your white knuckles and mend with me

You’re at the back of my mind

On the inside of my eyes

And when I drift off at night

I see you in my sleep
