"Silhouette" lyrics - THRICE

THRICE
"Silhouette"
(Dustin Kensrue / Thrice)

Your eyes followed me here
Your eyes, seamless and sure
They leave me broken and
In need of a cure

Your eyes followed me here
Your eyes, sifting my soul
They leave me broken and
Forge diamonds from the coal

They race me along
The infinite synapse white lines
Then, chasing the dawn
With storybook syntax
Your eyes

Slit the throat
Of all I know
About myself in this life
This silhouette lie

And your eyes, speaking in tongues
Vigilant still, filling my lungs
Testing my will

They leave me broken and
Bruised and bleeding
Your eyes resting in flame
Leave me breathless again

Like hydrogen
Split on fault lines
Or ten years living with
Exposure to radon
Your eyes

Slit the throat
Of all I know
About myself in this life
This silhouette lie

Your eyes
Your eyes
Speaking in tongues
Vigilant still as always

Your eyes (They leave me broken and)
Your eyes (Bruised and bleeding)
Filling my lungs
Testing my will

You slit the throat
Of all I know
About myself in this life
This silhouette lie

Slit my throat
'Cause I know
That this life
Is a lie
So slit my throat.
