Eyes Adjust - Twitching Tongues

Dearly departed, little harlot, I bid you farewell

Hatred obsessing me, possessing me.

I no longer dwell

A witless life lesson I never could have learned alone

Alone is where the heart is, in that I’ve found a home

The thought of love lost kept me awake

And every other fuck-up I made

Said I never wanted to sleep again, and now my eyes adjust

Your embrace is a pitiful as the withering of your soul

Fiending for acceptance, searching for repentance

I know your sins my dear, I know just what you fear

A love not eternal but lust so infernal

All men are your toys and your presence is poison

The thought of love lost kept me awake

And every other fuck-up I made

Said I never wanted to sleep again, and now my eyes adjust

Concubine, you won’t prevail

Carnal plague, you have failed

From grace I’ve watched you fall

The time for therapy in sleep in gone

Arm in arm, we met our armageddon

Feeding our disease as we come to understand them

You were my uprising and my greatest mistake

Pockets full of memories I’d like to thank you for

Live your life and fulfill your lust

I see what I need and now my eyes adjust
