Lyrics
Shut My Eyes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Teardrops blaze their way across my pillow
The trail's still fucking hot
In this water are the paths I follow
Every time I am lost
Somebody shut my eyes
Somebody told somebody else
To never fantasize
These forty tears were raining on your forty eyes
To drown you in my flood
My whole family and all my fucking friends
Are everything you are not
Somebody shut my eyes
Somebody told somebody else
Somebody should
It's surreal to love what keeps you wondering
Too feel my touch is to forgive history
I've rinsed my hands of memories
As you've rinsed your life of me
These bullets wait for escape
On the shells I write your name
On the trigger I place the blame
From within the barrel you'll see my face
Don't say goodbye
I'll do the same
Soon enough your sun burns on my shoulders
Long after I'm gone
The moon I hid within your shadows
Will start to shine
Somebody shut my eyes
I've finally shown this fucking world
Nobody could
