When I Lose My Eyes

歌詞

Me and my best friend sleep without any clothes With books on the bedspread in languages no one knows All the windows are open All of the low lights glow And we flood all the rooms of our homes until we float And wash out to the street down below And when I die, then I'll sleep in the sides of clouds Over the mountains I'll hover above your house You'll hear me haunting You'll hear my cries and howls Ringing between rows of the teeth in your mouth It feels like the end of the world inside you When this sweetness infinitely holds us And I fall into you The hex on my heart made it harder and harder To finally find you You and your sister Alone in the upstairs room Speaking in whispers at three in the afternoon Were you surprised when you started to see Right through her skin and the things she said to you? You know the whole family eventually all went blind Or their vision got blurry Simply a bad blood line I won't be angry when I lose my eyes My hands will have mapped out the world by that time And my sight, It might forget what to do when the things That I've seen and I've been When they come back for me The whole world will sing through the tips of my fingers And I'll feel everything like I was listening to the rain When I lose my eyes there will be something more Something my vision was far too afraid of When I lose my voice there will be songs beyond the bubbling And braying my singing was made of before When I lose my hands there will be brand new words And fingertips floating on top of the ocean for you When our lungs shut down we will rejoice and shout Building butterflies out of our breathing, believing end.
