In the next song on the album, Lucy Shone A Light On You, Lucy writes a story called “The Void Behind Your Eyes”. This song at least partly portrays the contents of that story, which is meant to drive the reader insane. Source: Martha (The VH Interview)
[Verse 1]
I spent my whole life running
From a darkness I can't comprehend
The gate fell open and summoned
Evil, aeons old and kept in
Non-Euclidean geometry
Something wicked came to swallow me
[Chorus]
All our rituals went wrong
(We wait for, we wait for
We wait for for something to labour for)
All a séance and a song
(We wait for, we wait for
We wait for for something to labour for)
[Verse 2]
We try to forget it
It’s futile, now we regret it
This endless, faceless, iridescent thing is closing in
Something icy cold from stories told
Something sinful seared my gentle soul
[Chorus]
All our rituals went wrong
(We wait for, we wait for
We wait for for something to labour for)
All a séance and a song
(We wait for, we wait for
We wait for for something to labour for)
[Bridge]
I saw the dormant perspective
I saw the mirror reflective
I saw the Devil, saw the demon, saw the void behind your eyes
I saw the dormant perspective
I saw the mirror reflective
I saw the Devil, saw the demon, saw the void behind your eyes
[Outro]
I saw the Devil
I saw the demon
I saw the devil, saw the demon
Saw the void behind your eyes
I saw the Devil
I saw the demon
I saw the devil, saw the demon
Saw the void behind your eyes
[Outro]
I saw the devil
I saw the demon
I saw the devil
Saw the demon, saw the void behind your eyes
Behind your eyes
Behind your eyes
Behind your eyes
Behind your eyes
