You're at the back of my mind On the inside of my eyes And when I drift off at night I see you in my sleep A familiar foreign tongue "Wash your hands clean and follow the Son" Shelter your flock from the wolf I see your fire in his eyes Relentless, burning brighter than the sun Unyielding, boring through my skull Judge and jury Ignore the witness Judge and jury Just tie the noose You're at the back of my mind On the inside of my eyes And when I drift off at night I see you in my sleep Lead them not into temptation But deliver them from singularity Twisted words and broken wrists Framing a heart to your liking Birthed in your eyes Was a fire I thought extinguished By years of failing paragons And numbing unfulfillment I'll bathe in your flames Every ounce of pain will be worth it's weight Fall on the blade Impale myself Absorb the blame Turn my insides out Head weighed down by fruitless thoughts Rewrite this chapter, turn back the clock I fear my neck will snap under the weight Before I reach the gallows Cut in half and left to bleed Bare your white knuckles and mend with me You're at the back of my mind On the inside of my eyes And when I drift off at night I see you in my sleep
