Premonitions

I feel the weight of a listless eye that looks upon us
Not from our friends, or our families, or our neighbors
I feel the sting of a blameless hand that has drawn us
Somewhere in the distance, on scraps of paper
They tell our story from the eyes of a child
An angel and her broken halo, lost in the wild
Searching for a human who could save her
Scribble down the ending and save it for later

Do you believe in fairytales, my friend?
Do you remember how they usually end?
Why do you kiss me with your eyes open wide?
Do you love me, or are you terrified inside?

I feel the weight of a shameless eye that looks upon us
I am trapped in your memory, trapped in your shadow
I feel the pressure of a blameless hand that covers my mouth
I cannot tell you what they whispered in my ear, not now
The words have burned into my skull like meteor craters
The words have rung my ears like the voice of the Creator
The words have stung my heart like a being even greater
Scribble down the ending and save it for later

Do you believe in fairytales, my friend?
Do you remember how they usually end?
Why do you kiss me with your eyes open wide?
Do you love me, or are you terrified inside?

I feel the weight of your body, though we are spirits
I feel the weight of the shadow that took your appearance
No difference between the two, just double exposure
Nobody else knows her, there's no way to gain closure
I don't need you with me, you are burned into my DNA
Into my palms and fingertips, into my skeletal structure
Into my heart and my soul, into my death and revival
Into my past and my future, it is absolute torture
