Trying to Breathe Through Your Eyes Lyrics


Act I

I see this light flash off and I’ve come here waiting watching all that’s been done in your house

My eyes never wander, my history is done with all will survive in close

Death to open this dream to be like amphetamines

My hope, my will, will die without you

My dearest, doom will only find you when this goes

I’ve come here before god

You had a life

I gave you mine

You had a choice

Options denied

You’re my bloody obsession

Now die under my thumb

Oh, woe, is you again

Now run from me and save yourself

Waiting, just beyond the shadows line, all is calm

Patience, is often just a waste of time, so I have come

All is numb

Act II

Smash through the window, avoid the glass shards

Place my feet where the boards won’t betray my creep

All at once I throw myself on you

Place my hand on your throat, try and press it through you

What a wicked way to wake, familiar eyes bearing down on you

Abrupt as any light flash, as sound as any stones crash

It’s all coming down on you

Flailing arms and flying fingernail catches on my skin it sinks in

Leaves a tell trail reminder here, one that they’ll use to place me there

Trying to scream through your eyes, but I can’t hear a thing

Trying to breathe through your eyes, because your mouth don’t work no more

Starving for oxygen, your brains trying to pull it through the skin

Nothings getting in

I can feel your heart beat fight against my palm

And then it’s calm

All again this fractured night is silent

Numbly turn to leave over creaking boards, through snapping glass on the floor

Through shattered window pane

The foggy streets that won’t let me see far enough to know how far I’ve come

To be where you don’t see me anyway

And it all just guides me home

Where I used to sleep but sleep don’t come no more

I just lay on the floor and stare

Trying not to think about it all

Trying not to let it eat away anymore as I wait

Wait for them to find me
