: Eyes Without Light! Verse 1 They stand where the streetlight ends At the edge of the glow Two small figures Still as statues Waiting by your gate They do not move until you see them Then they step forward Softly Like they know you will let them in Verse 2 You open the door just a little They look up And your breath stops No white No colour Only deep endless black Like looking into a room with no light A room that goes on forever They do not blink They do not look away Chorus Black eyes staring straight into you Nothing there to hold on to No reflection No warmth No sign of anything human behind them They ask so quiet They ask so polite Let us come inside We are tired We just want to rest Verse 3 Something pulls at the back of your mind Do not let them cross the line Once they step over the threshold Something shifts Something changes in the air The house feels smaller The light feels thinner They do not eat your food They do not speak much They just sit And watch Bridge They are not children Not really They wear small bodies like coats Something old Something quiet and hungry Looking for a place to stay Looking for a way in They do not get angry when you say no They just stand there Still watching Waiting for you to weaken Waiting for the door to open Verse 4 When you look again They are gone No footprints in the dust No sound on the path But you can still feel them Somewhere close Just beyond the edge of sight Still waiting Still watching Still asking Outro Black eyes In the dark They will come back They always do Standing where the light ends Waiting For you
