The One-Eyed Man

I was trying to warn you
Of the masquerade before you.
That sweet smell of perfume
Is yet another scented costume
Trying so hard to consume
The bodies that fill up the room.
Swallow them down
Till there's no one around to assume
That it was me, that we could be
The target and the thief.
Can you believe that what you see
Is suspending disbelief?
Well, if love is considered blind,
Then your eyes are fading white.

I was a boundless traveler.
I was a body snatcher
Carrying all my treasure,
Yet caring for no one after
I had fulfilled my pleasure.
My lust will surpass your stature,
So swallow me down
Till there's no one around to measure
That it was me, that we could be
The target and the thief.
Can you believe that what you see
Is suspending disbelief?
Well, if love is considered blind,
Then your eyes are fading white.

Past the corridor on the second floor
Beneath the window
You'll find two sets of keys:
One is for you and one is for me,
But none of them are for keeps
If love is blind.

Your eyes have faded white.
