Past My Eyelids

How I know so well, it seems
The space behind my eyes
Every breath my company
Familiar and I
And my body waiting here
So still and patiently

Now I see, it was me
Who couldn't be who you see
Past my eyelids

Each new day this canvas blue
And we dance among my skin
Screaming silence, cold-tipped nose
The body that I'm in
Here I wait so patiently
My restless heart it beats
Just to know you, feel you near
Right where my eyelids meet

Now I see, it was me
Who couldn't be who you see
Past my eyelids
