Empty Eyes & Heavy Hands
Empty Eyes & Heavy Hands
So this is your guide
as the needle dances like fireflies
oh the melody so familiar
the tone so sincere
the remedy or hell just a stab away
and you scream over the phone
this is my own misery
temptation is your downfall
because it never met a no
and so I could say all the proper words
tell you how you are still my hero
tell you I still love you
but I just don't
if you are tired of repeating
so am I......the situation seems all just too real
you are the bullet holes
that shattered my broken heart
I ease the reciever down
as a tear rolls down my face
see the guilt parade has come to play
I look at you and all I see
is empty eyes and heavy hands
the weight of the illness
has taken a bitter toll
black around those beautiful eyes
labored as you breath
so close to death
but you seem like you already left....
