"Your Eyes Look Like Weapons To Me"
your eyes look like weapons to me
yes that means
i feel threatened by these
glares
and each stare
is another dare
of fight or flight
i’m thinking i might
backtrack look back on the past
watching a movie while knowing the cast
pictured we’d make it by now, funny how long that it lasts
each time that i’m kinda mad
remind me you’re not something i have
kindly, put that knife in my back
cupid arrow in my chest
deadly combination, girl we don’t really mesh
is history the only thing thats keeping us friends (don’t wanna be friends)
i’m feeling my end, you’re never round my ends
feeling it end, like finally- amen
I just scratched the surface; hardly an impression
I’m a passive aggressive bed and breakfast
Not knowing when to stop, but always knowing I could’ve said less
Now are we ever better people, does it show?
Or do you get defeated end up retreated in my phone?
I got a home in Stockholm that you can stay in
I know it’s not good, but God it’s worth it
Something about sunsets makes me feel like you’re close by
Something about distance makes me not wanna ask why
You keep coming back after each time that we fight
Maybe it’s better if my dreams are the only time that we might
Connect and communicate, forget and exonerate
All the pain that we traded, this love is a haven
Meet me in my R.E.M.
Meet me when I fall asleep
Feel these without the pressure
Hate me now and forget it later
Then fall asleep and meet again
Pick it up where we left it off
Because you’ve got goals that you’re chasing now
And i’ve got fears that i’m phasing out
Call a pause, but never quits
So long my friend, but it’s not a split
I’ll creep on you if you creep on me
Watch me close- don’t even blink
Keep me in the back room of your mental mansion
I’ll come out when the night is long
And your sleep goes on without a toss
Without a turn, I know it’s something that I have to earn
I know there’s some things that I have to learn
About sunsets
About distance
