I Can See, But Would Rather Not.

It's this mirrored image that comes faster
Further away is not enough to tell
The difference between thoughts of old
To the thoughts of new
Even through your eyes

When these eyes meet
It as if it was a flight towards distant shores
But now, the only thing holding us back
Is the time it takes to tell what is right and what is wrong

Come back next August
So I remember what it felt like
Cold memories will slip away
It is better this time
Let it be the last time
That these eyes say
"Goodbye"

It's this mirrored image that traces the steps of another
Spiral downwards towards a stream that longs to be dry
Downwards through a desert that is scarred with heat
The glassy ocean will meet us where we lay at the bottom
Reaching up

Don't hold your breath
There is no more life
No more hope
No more truth
To anything
Anymore

It's the eyes that are the only lies I see
