I See You

I see you in the little death

Of cells, the way we break free

From Hell, like a freight train through

Your mountains, I'm coming in

At full steam, I don't need to see

What's around the bend, just what you're keeping

Inside, these nights driving blind

Have me thinking in street signs, there's

No turning back now, when I crash into

Your skin, we'll call this the beginning

It's always been, I see you in

That little corset, pretending

You're hopeless, when the whole world waits

At your window, I'll come in through

Your secret doors, rise up from

The cold floor, the places

You never expected to face

Before, I see you in

The bitter kiss, the liqour on my lips

I know you'll burn my throat

On the way in, so I saved this

Breath, to inhale these poisons

When I leave

You'll be dirty as the snow

Where you buried this

I see you in the exhaled smoke

Of this cigarette, while I'm sitting on the porch

Thinking up new ways

To give in, my little death

In her blood-red corset

I see you in my end.
