Pareidolia

Tracing maps in the stellar seas
As they start to fall from heaven
Now they're aiming down at me
Like the tips of illuminated weapons

You were supposed to guide me
But you only injected me
With the fear like poison
Again, again, and again

You were supposed to take pride in me
But you only rejected me
Snapped into focus
A view that never reached your iris

Little moments come forth from below
They demand my attention
Resurfacing
The doubt within my soul
I gave in without question
I didn't know I was blinded
When you hung your anchors from my eyelids

We saw what we wanted to see
As we danced under those strobe light dreams
Somewhere between the stars and the sea
You didn't even blink
As you sent me underneath

Fuck

But I only wanted to be at peace
I never meant for our fire to cease
Hallucination and glass ceilings
Illuminated this purgatory

And with lead in our sails
Oh we've been searching for years
But our maps have failed
And the stars point down and laugh
Aiming down like silver spears
While we beg to see the black

But I didn't know I was blinded
But I didn't know I was blinded

But I didn't know I was blinded
Until you hung your anchors from my eyelids
Unearth the darkness inside of us
We fell in love with the violence
Our hearts are fires
Begging for the sirens
Begging for the sirens

Inferno in your iris
Hang these words like anchors from my eyelids
