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.
