the eyes in the mirror
deviant disasterous windows that hide chaotic secrets
blind me so i no longer have to look into you soul
lies that multiply with time
cannot be seen behind a veil thats in league with hell
eyes of snakes are more convincing than those the devil gave you
icy and vengeful piercing my core with a glance
my life turned cold with the sight of you
fresh blood streams down my cheeks
let me rip them out and cast them at your feet
so no longer i suffer hypnosis by your traitorous eyes
modern day medusa casting her stone gaze in my direction
i long for darkness so i smash out the sun
blacken the skies so i no longer see your face in the mirror.
