Eyelids

Why would I question myself?
I am always wrong
I check her windows at night
And that light's always on

Why don't come down from there
You could hurt yourself
I can tell that you're scared
But I can't offer any help

She cries
With her mother in the car
On her way to
A city where I'm not

But she's not leaving
She's just finding another way back home

And she's not breathing
But I'm kissing air back into her lungs

I follow up with
A question for the crowd
Am I so helpless?
Am I still making the same sounds?

I saw your eyelids
I saw your eyelids
I saw your eyelids
And I knew what to do

Making oaths that
I know I'll never keep
Goes to show that
I can't find another heat

How can I live with myself?
Well it's no life at all
I hold my face to the light
I lick my lips they taste like salt

Why do you bother with me
I can never change
I'm full of headaches
I'm so disgusted with my age

She seems
Like she's living through her eyes
On a rooftop
I go to her and sigh

But she's not hearing
She's just in a car and on her way

It's just a feeling
But when I feed it it comes back to stay

I've had enough with
Sleeping through the night
She's so human
She's so stubborn she's so right

I saw your eyelids
I saw your eyelids
I saw your eyelids
And I knew it was you
