He had seen too much
To trust his eyes
So he removed them
And held them in his hands
He could see tears falling
From the face of God
He could drown
In the salt of everything
He returned his eyes
To their dark chambers
And closed them forever
The tears of God
Sealed inside as in vials

He had seen too much
To trust his eyes
So he removed them
And held them in his hands
He could see tears falling
From the face of God
He could drown
In the salt of everything
He returned his eyes
To their dark chambers
And closed them forever
The tears of God
Sealed inside as in vials
