Cradle to Grave

Shut My Eyes

Cradle to Grave


Teardrops blaze their way across my pillow 
The trail's still fucking hot 
In this water are the paths I follow 
Every time I am lost 

Somebody shut my eyes 
Somebody told somebody else 
To never fantasize 

These forty tears were raining on your forty eyes 
To drown you in my flood 
My whole family and all my fucking friends 
Are everything you are not 

Somebody shut my eyes 
Somebody told somebody else 
Somebody should 

It's surreal to love what keeps you wondering 
Too feel my touch is to forgive history 
I've rinsed my hands of memories 
As you've rinsed your life of me 
These bullets wait for escape 
On the shells I write your name 
On the trigger I place the blame 
From within the barrel you'll see my face 
Don't say goodbye 
I'll do the same 

Soon enough your sun burns on my shoulders 
Long after I'm gone 
The moon I hid within your shadows 
Will start to shine 

Somebody shut my eyes 
I've finally shown this fucking world
