The Lens

(album: What We Do To Feel - 2023)

I twist the blinds in the kitchen
Whisper aloud you're missing
Such a strange, strange feeling, oh
So proud you're out on your own
Just give me a call when you're home
Such a strange, strange feeling

Don't look down, don't look out now
'Cause your eyes dilate, give me fear that
I just can't shake
I'm watching those trees with my eyes all blurry
When your eyes dilate
Black void takes the lights away
Care for me fast, or not too much
Just let me see when the black makes the green rush

I'm in a drifting fade
Chasing back to the gate
Such a strange feeling
Oh, it's raining like chimes
Soaks you every time
Just give me some shelter, oh

Don't look down, don't look out now
'Cause your eyes dilate, give me fear that
I just can't shake
I'm watching those trees with my eyes all blurry
When your eyes dilate
Black void takes the lights away
Care for me fast, or not too much
Just let me see when the black makes the green rush

I sit alone, surrender my head
I'm drinking nothing, leave my thoughts unread
Nothing sinks when the mind is clear
But I feel it in my chest when the hour is near
There's a shelter up over that road
Pull it close where the spotlight shows
Just relax, it's only a den
A tunnel with four walls and the world's biggest bed
Your eyes delay
Forgotten your space
As the night beneath your feet
Doesn't feel so safe
Your eyes dilate, give me fear
That I just can't shake
Watching those trees
When your eyes turn
