Dead Eyes

Constantly reminded how to be human
Curious to peel the shadows you allow
Death cannot exist without love
Fear stands alone — Unspoilt by intelligence
The clocks don't tell the same time
The sun and my scars will lead me home

Eyes that can witness every love anew
Death — Love — Life
The only tools that make us human
Old fears stay old — Surviving
While old love always feels new
Those guilty of knowing love have betrayed its novelty

Time — Unrelated to milestones
Senses loyal to perception — Unrelated to desire
An empty belief that you are separate from what you want
Consume distractions so you are spending fear
Neglect life so you don't realize how much you've wasted

If you look into my eyes
And I tell you they are not mine
Did you really see me at all?

You could never trivialize
The thousand words it takes to paint you a picture
