Atlas Eyes

Slim faced child
The memories slide
Against my mind
And laying on my bedroom floor, young
With your arms crossed to the ceilings
When the aliens came
Oh and I thought we were safe.

But you saw ghosts
In the hallways of our home
And you ran with your hands on your eyes
Wake me up after midnight
With your atlas eyes
Your atlas eyes.

And father cried
Hands tight on the wheel
Even heroes break
And walking with your backpack on
Into a white room where smoke filled your eyes.

And the monsters came
Oh and I thought you were safe.

But you thought you saw grandma
At the table
Well did she speak as well?
And I thought god would save us
Did we drink in hell?

Slim faced child
The memories slide
Against my mind
And laying on my bedroom floor, young
With your arms crossed to the ceilings
When the aliens came
Oh and I thought we were safe.
