Don't Cover Up My Eyes

from Elephant Skeleton EP by Tiger Mimic

/

about

A little tune about getting held captive until you finally turn it around on them.

lyrics

Hold my hand
And walk me through
All the things
You want me to
Do and say
To make you feel so good

Touch my skin
With your fingertips
Pull me close
I won't resist
I'll do it all the way
You want me to

Whisper it all
In my ear
Just don’t let me disappear
I’m standing here
With nothing by my side

You’ve been so good
Can't disagree
But you’re the reason
I'm not free
Dont deny
We both know why I’m here

Don’t cover up my eyes
I promise I won’t look
Please untie my hands
I promise I won’t run

They're not me
They'll never be
It’s been so long
I now belong
Don't think that means
I won't leave if I can

I'll take my time
You’ll never know
You’ll turn your back
And I’ll be gone
It’s the only thought
That keeps me holding on

You’ll replace me
when you’re done
And please correct me
If I’m wrong
But there’s no way
You’ll let me get away

I won’t speak another word
There’s no point
I’m never heard
I'm stuck with you
But I won't be
For long

Don’t cover up my eyes
I promise I won’t look
Please untie my hands
I promise I won’t run
Don’t cover up my eyes
I promise I won’t look
When you untie my hands
We both know I will run

I'll run so fast
You won't catch up
I'll run so far
I'll never stop
There's not much else
That you can do
Trapped in a corner
And you can't move
