Paper Eye - Leon III

Scrape gold from the crown and wind down at night on electrical charges

Set adrift on the ocean with you just lying there

I ripped out your paper eye

You did not seem surprised

Among the clustering stars came so far just to sit here in silence

When the back door flew open the silence disappeared

I ripped out your paper eye

You did not seem surprised

Promise we’ve lived through the hardest parts

The words reversed are masked to subvert us until we’re all double tongued

I ripped out your paper eye

I ripped out your paper eye

I ripped out your paper eye

I ripped out your paper eye
