Written in winter 2009 for "The Endpiece"
First recorded in summer 2009 with "The Endpiece"
Rerecorded with Dizzy Bats spring 2012

lyrics

Your eyes, oh your eyes, are looking back in my small world
And your eyes, your eyes, refuse to stray from this lost pearl
You didn't want me to, didn't want me to go
So shook the 8-ball twice and we found out then
That one season's span must suffice

As we trek on through, wish that I could help to
Erase this calligraphy
But last stroke is drawn and we must move on
Create this new memory
Sleep our separate dreams

Your eyes, oh your eyes, so far away can no longer see
Don't feel fine, don't feel fine
This endless pit takes control of me
But no card was counted, no lock was picked
Innocence, plead not guilty
And even knowing this, I do still exist, in my own penitentiary

So I'll just steal the key and let myself free
No guards standing in my way
Now cannot hear your voice, creating my own choice
Your eyes no longer live my day, as we break away

Your eyes roll back inside your head and return again
One more time, can't help but trap myself
In this vicious cycle of sympathy
Because of….
