blue eyes, I'm dying to keep the game alive
we're too good at hiding which side we lie in
it's taking too much time, we're no good at finding
[the red dyes and glasses, your favorite disguise to try and hide in]
[I'll buy the sizes and colors you've implied, you'll still deny me]
we tried to fight it
we tried to deny it
we tried to hide it behind our eyes
we tired of hiding
[blues eyes, I'll try to keep them alive under dark indifference]
[sometimes I'll hide just to keep me feeling lost to keep me from smiling]
one time, you said no--I believed that it was so
so I just stopped trying
a month or so was all it took to let it go
we're past those beds we've lied in
we tried to fight it
we tried to deny it
we tried to hide it behind our eyes
we tired of hiding
our eyes--the light and dark versions of open skies
static and lightning
a good time to get inside, to save our sorry hides
rainfall, the middle of it all, stormfronts colliding
we tried to fight it
we tried to deny it
we tried to hide it behind our eyes
we tired of hiding
