Reading My Eyes (Remix)

by Luke   Aug 2, 2005


Reading my eyes when I’m awake
Looking like it’s me up on the stake
Everything I ever knew
Now I know that we are through

I’m living life in bandage tape
It seems I love to see you gape
Daydream and it’s a young hero
Sign my name with capital zer0

Reading my Eyes when I am here
Feeling your gaze while I am near
You embody all that I hate
Seeing me here, you imitate

Sensing my thoughts while I am far
Making me feel not up to par
Look into the mirrors that you call eyes
With a sinister smile you hypnotize

Can you see my pious soul?
Striped of all the hope you stole
When will you walk upon the sea?
Turn around, face the devil in me

Throw away your tainted trust
Leave behind a heart of rust
I promise I won’t ever be
Reading my eyes when I can’t see

Reading my eyes when I’m awake
Living life in bandage tape
Promise I will never be
Read my eyes and you will see

    Holy Crap this is awesome!

    Luke - it is so good to see you writing [forgive my belated response, so much going on]

    This is an utterly imaginitive, powerful piece. I love the way you 'out'cry. I just loved every stanza :

    young hero - capital zero
    awake - bandage tape.

    The imagery and the 'pious' rusted soul is so eerily affective that It has taken an entirely beautiful role in this poem. If you get my drift.

    Blessings to you my dear Brother!

    5/5
