Reprimand

Eyes of the Devil
Why do you gaze at me?
Everything I did wrong
I couldn't I see

Eyes of the Devil
That interrupt me
And call me into the dark
And with burning light, mark me
So I won't forget
All that I commit.

But I don't see my mistake
I only carry the weight
Of your stare.
Don't hate me, don't relegate me
For now I can do it right
And carry on.

Eyes of the Devil
Why do you have me with you?
Why does your light burn?
And I never see myself,
Beyond your pupil and companion
Of a life I didn't live myself.

Leave me simply,
I don't want to do anything for you.
Just leave me,
For you don't see me.

Eyes of the Devil
Who sees you today is me.
I don't have your faults,
I don't have your luck.
In my hands
I only carry your story.

And a rehash of my pain
Is just the lullaby
That rocks me to the dream
Of people I never saw
people who disappeared
before burning eyes
Cold as I'd never asked you
to make mine.
