Sleep in the morning
Ignore life from your window
Glow through your eyelids
Streaks of red in the shadow
Sharing the sunlight with
The ones that eclipse you
They're blind when you're in pain
And they're deaf when you say so
Show me a beacon
That can shine under flood lights
Cross on the front door
X's over the street signs
Pitch to the far wall
Put your back to the corner
Aches in your fingers
Creeping up into your spine
And every day, it takes a different shape
Mocking my eyes and now I can't look away
You found me so far from where you landed
Bullets in your teeth but empty handed
Evil has a place I knew I'd find it
In between the roots of everything I know
Cling to the switchblade
That you take when you leave home
The fear that you let show
When you're sure that you're alone
Digging your nails
Into your forearm to stay up
You hate what they show you
And you fear what you don't know
And every day, I hope the joy that they take
Comes back to haunt them, follows them to the grave
You found me so far from where you landed
Bullets in your teeth but empty handed
Evil has a place I knew I'd find it
In between the roots of everything I know
Show me the whites of your eyes
Bloodshot behind your disguise
Seeing outside of myself
(Tie me up and cut me open)
Stay on your side of the light
(Cut me up and see what's broken)
Seeing outside of myself
Stay on your side of the light
You found me so far from where you landed
Bullets in your teeth but empty handed
Evil has a place I knew I'd find it
In between the roots of everything I know
(Tie me up and cut me open)
(Cut me up and see what's broken)
(Tie me up and cut me open)
(Cut me up and see what's broken)
