in a fog - thru a veil

Caught a glimpse
Through a veil
Your eyes aglow

Your body like
A monolith
That I am not supposed to know

Thoughts intrude
Thoughts slipping
Through my animal mind

Should I bear
The burden
For the way that I am built inside

Avert thine eyes, avert thine eyes, avert thine eyes
Or you'll go blind, or you'll go blind, or you'll go blind
If you stare at the light, if you stare at the light, if you stare at the light
Directly

Mask slippin'
Catch a peak
My deep shadow

Can't say for sure
If I'm the same person
That you thought you knew before

Tears well up
Pool and drop
A sob, a heave, a sigh

All the shapes
And colors
Blend together in those weary eyes

Avert thine eyes, avert thine eyes, avert thine eyes
Or you'll go blind, or you'll go blind, or you'll go blind
If you stare at the light, if you stare at the light, if you stare at the light
Directly

Caught a glimpse
Through a veil
A subtle glow

You are
A universe
That I don't get to fully know

The streetlight through
The barren branches
Cold wet night

Manifests
Some sort of magic
In my tired mind

How can I approach you?
How am I to court you?
If I can't even know you
You won't let me know you

Avert thine eyes, avert thine eyes, avert thine eyes
Or you'll go blind, or you'll go blind, or you'll go blind
If you stare at the light, if you stare at the light, if you stare at the light
Directly
