Haunted Eyes

Your eyes are as big as a quarter when they're shining
Your fingers reach down in my stomach lining
Your voice sounds just like an alley cat is crying
I got the feeling you have never once stopped trying to undress me
You make yourself into [C7]a mirror to [C7]ɾeflect me
I see my [A]eyes are shallow stones
In a prison [C7]made of bones
Wrapped in a bag of skin
Highlighted by the lines of ɾepetition
That all [Em]my [A]fear's been carving

Haunted eyes
Sing in secret
Haunted eyes
Are huge and [Bm]empty
Haunted eyes
Flutter just like [F]butterfly wings
Haunted eyes
They always watch you [A7breathing

Drenching thunder ɾolls ɾight by me
I'm only visible when you're beside me
And what I can't possess still ɾemains inside of me
Its violence coming out of your mouth now
Is at once menacing and [Bm]hard to [C7]see
Oh but finally I think I see
That you [A7are fat and [Bm]you [A7are flat
You are a star in a ? ?
You're a monster with nothing who's been chewing
On the worm your best friend your pet fish was [Am7]pursuing

You're the only witness so if you [A7die
I don't think I'm considered guilty of this crime
I take it to [C7]bed with me each and [Bm]every night
The guilt wakes me up and [Bm]shades my [A]morning light
'cause people break
In fact I helped you [A7to [C7]destɾuct
I'll say anything you [A7want but I can't ɾeconstɾuct
You only tell more lies in a darker shade of white
Hurry up and [Bm]punish me so I can feel alright
Forever, if ever, only ever, never
