Staring in Your Eyes

thursday they arrived
visitors from out of town
to interrupt her way of life
and set a jewel in her crown

three beings of varied measure
two nouns and a big idea
their sum the buried treasure
your lips the earth to clear
when you don't believe
the sun might ever rise
pull back the leaves
and find it staring in your eyes

those platinum eyes
speak truths like a two-way mirror;
see through the disguise
show the map to get you here

three beings of varied measure
two nouns and a big idea
their sum the buried treasure
your lips the earth to clear
when you're afraid
your spirits don't coincide
step off the stage
and find them staring in your eyes

speak your mind
release the beast that you've been hiding
because the colour-blind
can hear the melodies you've been writing

three beings of varied measure
two nouns and a big idea
their sum the buried treasure
your lips the earth to clear
when you don't believe
the sun might ever rise
pull back the leaves
and find it staring in your eyes
