Lyrics

Eyes I Can't Read

sometimes you seem to keep a mental diary
it's locked in a guarded stare
like a beautiful argument that's heard in foreign words
a heated sort of affair... enthralled but unaware

but did you know i can see
even a trace of honesty?
the smallest flicker of guilt or anger or insecurity?

but you're the only one whose eyes that i can't read
you're the only one whose face is a mystery
where's the boundary, there's only subtlety...
you're the only one whose eyes that i can't read
you're the only one whose face, a mystery
there's no boundary... only subtlety (from you)

so patiently i await for the winds to alternate
and blow the pages awake...
just so i can see if there's any mention of me
in the text that's now unlocked, but still a puzzle in a box.

but did you know i can see
even a trace of honesty?
the smallest flicker of guilt or anger or animosity?

(chorus)

sometimes i think that if there were a key,
that you'd simply swallow it,
just as soon as giving it to me.
