What We See When We Shut Our Eyes (2007)
What We See When We Shut Our Eyes
Lyrics by Michael Nordeen
It is a beast that he chases, that chases him.
Motion to a moment of stillness.
Silence, the flakes kiss his lips, and graze the lashes.
Wind shears west to east.
White blankets, a breath is taken.
Trees are lines between these lines.
Limbs have been broken.
They still dangle limply in the wind.
Shadows play with what they have.
Shadows play with what they have.
The branches give under the weight of it all.
The branches give under the weight of it all.
He looks again, and there's another set of prints.
It's gaining speed, and so shall he.
He never turns back once.
It is a beast that he chases, that chases him.
Motion to a moment of stillness.
Silence, the flakes kiss his lips, and graze the lashes.
Wind shears west to east.
White blankets, a breath is taken.
He knows if he does he will be caught.
For this he has never seen it.
And pray he never will.
He never sees it coming.
Yet this scene repeats itself.
In a sequence of that existence.(x2)
