It's in the eyes That's how you know The lies The love How you shove me away And draw me back. Without the muscles Would they still bore Numb to any coaxing No way of showing Or would you? Find a way to tell me what you wish to say Even when the needles thick into you Taking what you have earned You giving it away It's in the eyes That's how I know When the hours show When the blood has tired out And I must let go A small syringe placed just so To let the laughter and anger go To wipe away and smear the story Of my sorrow and my glory It's in my eyes And in the base Where it's stored and understood It's in my eyes And in my head The sleep I need to erase Everything you've done.

Sleep it's in my eyes
It's in the eyes That's how you know The lies The love How you shove me away And draw me back. Without the muscles Would they still bore Numb to any coaxing No way of showing Or would you? Find a way to tell me what you wish to say Even when the needles thick into you Taking what you have earned You giving it away It's in the eyes That's how I know When the hours show When the blood has tired out And I must let go A small syringe placed just so To let the laughter and anger go To wipe away and smear the story Of my sorrow and my glory It's in my eyes And in the base Where it's stored and understood It's in my eyes And in my head The sleep I need to erase Everything you've done.
