Evil Eye Lyrics

You pay your reverence to the bridges burned

These desperate measures had gone on far too long

An inconvenience in place of choice

That made me watch you live in the moment

As I lost my voice

It pulls away and then it falls apart

The only sense I have left is obligation

Follow the leader but not my heart

Then you can just run through the motions

If you get that far

This deprivation you feed isn't medicine

Sleep without dream whispers a place of no escape

Insignificance

All rhyme or reason

Buried deep in cryptic metaphor

Until nothing's left

But the extreme you were asking for

Does this illusion want to be alone

And claim divine inspiration solely as its own

Something meaningful to bear my cross

And save this falling from grace

As if it's not my fault

I don't want to feel this empty woe

But then again this sadness is mutual

Pins and needles as I'm waking up

I guess that the dream is over

But now I can't stand up

You hide and seek

Beneath the veil of the evil eye

Where nothing is sacred

Because it's all deemed to be scrutinized

Two lives

Too late

Hell-bent

Too straight

And if you don't look back

You can't see what you're running from

There's a reason it's not my fault

Didn't know if you noticed
