Heartsounds - Internal Eyes lyrics

It's been a slow and steady crawl To get a third of the way through without destroying it all And every day I welcome change But new perspective brings new shame So I'm haunting myself everywhere that I go They'll break me down and start again When all is calm and settled in Like cancer-ridden light, these burning knives Will rip through every lie I've ever told myself They're a part of me I can't expel The wheels will spin to build this hell If I stray from mind they'll cast out the line And reel me back inside They do their worst at night Never asleep, never a sound As they forge deeper underground Their rational knows no bounds With unbridled strength, I'm swept away You know delusion can persuade My settled mind to simply erase They'll scan me through for something sick And once these bones are clearly picked The cold will grow deeper to control I don't know where to go to get away from this So I live through you. Through everyone In search of a reason why I fall to my internal eyes They only paralyze anything and everything But I'll blind them with the light of this life And they'll die in the dead of the night
