That's a Nice Coat Lyrics

Her eyes sting

Her mouth closed

Her tears burn

Don't read into those clothes

His eyes shift

His lips tight

His fears swirl

Don't narrow your sight

My breath short

My eyes learn

My calm shelved

Don't add to the burn

Their past caught

Their fate lied

Their faith lost

Don't you dare hide

Unspoken words weigh heavy upon my chest

Your ears too deaf to listen

Teardrops echo in the sound of doubt and disquiet

Your lips sewn shut by your own doing

I never saw behind those drifting eyes

And I wonder

A sight unseen, a frame that tells us lies

What's yours was once mine

Long buried in lost time

Frozen faces etched in my head

Dear loved ones on deathbeds

Yours and mine

Passing eyes all the while

Perched atop a crooked smile

Her lips said scorn

Her eyes black

Her vile form

Her prideful act

My answer framed

Lesson learned

A cruel debt paid

Let Exile burn

Words from afar whisper who I am

Pulled at the seams, torn on where I should stand

The years made up this dark day

In the worst way

What should I say?

A kiss to send me away

Unspoken words weigh heavy upon my chest

Your ears too deaf to listen

Teardrops echo in the sound of doubt and disquiet

Your lips sewn shut by your own doing

I never saw behind those drifting eyes

And I wonder

A sight unseen, a frame that tells lies
