So You Can't See Me?


Look I know you ahve dead eyes

They don't work and you screamed at the world

"Why, why, why?!" As you shot rounds

 

I know your eyes are dead

But let's not forget the fear you saw in mine

Sure you can't read a book,

But you can read a soul,

Cut open and dried 

 

Now it's been a year- maybe two

Oh, you said you loved me

But what was done to show that?

Have you walked into that court room, 

And let me run into your arms?

No...no you didn't

You didn't even try

You didn't even give a shot

...Where's your gun now?

 

You say "It's complicated"

You say "I can't see you, baby"

You said you loved me

You said you couldn't try

You say a lot of things,

But Daddy, I see your punctured soul

And I know the truth behind what you stole.
