internal eyes

Singer:heartsounds

it's been a slow and steady crawl

to get a third of the way through without destroying it all. and every day i welcome change

but new perspective brings new shame

so i'm haunting myself everywhere that i go. they'll break me down and start again

when all is calm and settled in. like cancer-ridden light

these burning knives

will rip through every lie i've ever told myself. they're a part of me i can't expel

the wheels will spin to build this hell. if i stray from mind they'll cast out the line

and reel me back inside. they do their worst at night. never asleep

never a sound. as they forge deeper underground

their rational knows no bounds

with unbridled strength

i'm swept away. you know delusion can persuade

my settled mind to simply erase. they'll scan me through for something sick

and once these bones are clearly picked

the cold will grow deeper to control. i don't know where to go to get away from this. so i live through you. through everyone

in search of a reason why i fall to my internal eyes. they only paralyze anything and everything. but i'll blind them with the light of this life

and they'll die in the dead of the night.
