Eyes Around You

if you could save a life would you give yours, die twice or seek the common sacrifice within his eyes i put stride in my fears and walked my tears away if i could recount the years today amongst my peers i'm here to say address your bed, your whereabouts and the mirrors from which you lay There's no heaven above me But you want to seek love And tell me to lead the doomed Pray upon salt castles And clay statues Remain humble with stones Veering at you on bending knee you send a plee do rekindle me Set me apart from windows, free only to pay a widows fee Scars are tattoos That remind us What not to do Where not to go Have I Forgotten you? I rest my thoughts Where they don't lay If i could rise equivilently To an average monday That would be life According to what some say When nightmares become reality Angels cry Where shadows hide They tear at the thought of disclosing immortality the same as the posture of an adolescent in high fidelity if you could save a life would you give yours, die twice or seek the common sacrifice within his eyes
