Pupil of Your Eye

I saw the moon burning cold in your eyes,

Like a graveyard curled in the curve of its light.

Branches like fingers reached out of the dark,

Calling out my name beckoning my heart.

Pre‑Chorus

And the wind whispered secrets you never told,

Carried by shadows that never grow old.

Chorus

In the pupil of your eye, I walk alone,

Past the stones where the silent stories moan.

There’s a doll in the center with a porcelain stare,

And she waits for my soul like she’s always been there.

In the pupil of your eye

Verse 2

A crow on a headstone lifted its wings,

As if it knew every sorrow I bring.

Your gaze was a doorway I shouldn’t have crossed,

But the path pulled me in like a lover I lost.

Pre‑Chorus

And the moon kept rising inside your gaze,

Lighting the ruins of forgotten days.

Chorus

In the pupil of your eye, I walk alone,

Past the stones where the silent stories moan.

There’s a doll in the center with a porcelain stare,

And she waits for my soul like she’s always been there.

In the pupil of your eye

Bridge

Her dress is stitched with the threads of the dead,

Her smile is a promise I’ve always misread.

She lifts her hand slowly, inviting me near—

A gesture of mercy, or an embrace of fear.

Final Chorus

In the pupil of your eye, I lose my name,

Drifting through shadows that echo my shame.

And the doll in the center whispers, “Come home,”

As the moon in your eye turns my heart into stone.

In the pupil of your eye
