Drawing Lines
Girls Names Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Filling more with dread
Exorcising feelings that
This will all soon end
Reading what was left here
Frozen gripped by fear
Led into darkest depths
How can rest be found here? Of nervous disposition
Eye contact unnerving where
Beauty lies behind
Abstraction, a need for distance
To understand our needs
Stare into a face with
Fragile eyes that bleed

Fragile eyes that bleed
Delicate eyes that seep
