Eyes Like Yours - Inquiry

If all we want is happiness, then why do we play devil’s advocate Pulling our

teeth and clawing out our eyes

Why are you so afraid

Darkly dreaming with hopes seceding

These long nights have built their nest around our

Troubled eyes rest your mind

Don’t bring that war inside your bed

You’ll starve your soul until there’s nothing left

We stand on the furthest shore from clearer days

These currents will never translate our words

Affection has turned us into ghosts and by day we parade translucent and

vulnerable in need of company

Do you know what you need versus what you want

The loss and infatuation has decomposed our aspirations

How did we allow this to be

How did we allow ourselves to be

Capsize and pray for all that we’ve made

Chances are we’re capable of love

Please remember to be and don’t forget to breathe

For I will love you like a city by the sea

But yes and no it is up to us, without ease, to stay alive

It is up to us to believe, and only then can we feel free
