Glass Eye

Leave your clothes by the door, Ophelia
You don't need to go
I'm alone
and I need you to know
Lie... like...
Lie... like...
Like the pain
Like the pain in your glass eye
Like the pain
Like the pain in your glass eye
Rolling backwards in denial
Try, try
Try, try with all your might
Watch the flight
Watch the flight of a million starlings
Darting into a windowpane
So freshly killed, their hearts are still quivering

Secrete a Matrix

You can come back
I was wrong about you
Form the words
It's not enough to make them true
Secrete a matrix of
protective substances
Secrete a matrix of
protective substances
Layers you use
to spin your cold cocoon
Second skin the safest place
Outer wall to inner space
Roll the stone back
Till it crashes down atop
Lift aloft the crushing weight that never drops
Secrete a matrix of
protective substances
Secrete a matrix of
protective substances
Layers you use
to spin your cold cocoon
Second skin the safest place
Outer wall to inner space
Form the words to make them, make them true
Time to spend to spin the shape of the cocoon.
You can't come back because I was, I was, I was right.
Outer wall to inner space, safest place.
I was, I was, I was, I was right, right? I was right.
I was, I was, I was, I was right, right? I was right.
Layers you use to spin your cold cocoon
Layers you use to spin your cold cocoon
