Joseph Arthur - Haunted eyes lyrics

rate me

Your eyes are as big as a quarter when they're shining

Your fingers reach down in my stomach lining

Your voice sounds just like an alley cat is crying

I got the feeling you have never once stopped trying to undress me

You make yourself into a mirror to reflect me

I see my eyes are shallow stones

In a prison made of bones

Wrapped in a bag of skin

Highlighted by the lines of repetition

That all my fear's been carving

Haunted eyes

Sing in secret

And your haunted eyes

Are huge and empty

And your haunted eyes

Flutter just like butterfly wings

And your haunted eyes

They always watch you breathing

Drenching thunder rolls right by me

I'm only visible when you're beside me

And what I can't possess still remains inside of me

Its violence coming out of your mouth now

Is at once menacing and hard to see

Oh but finally I think I see

That you are fat and you are flat

You are a star in a jar

You're a monster with nothing who's been chewing

On the worm your best friend your pet fish was pursuing

Haunted eyes

Flutter just like butterfly wings

And your haunted eyes

They always watch you breathing

You're the only witness so if you die

i don't think I'm considered guilty of this crime

I take it to bed with me each and every night

The guilt wakes me up and shades my morning light

'Cause people break

in fact I helped you to destruct

I'll say anything you want but I can't reconstruct

You only tell you more lies in a darker shade of white

Hurry up and punish me so I can feel alright

Forever, if ever, only ever, never

And your haunted eyes

Sing in secret

And your haunted eyes

Are huge and empty

And your haunted eyes

Flutter just like butterfly wings

And your haunted eyes

They always watch you breathing
