On the brink of disaster
at the end of your nerves
my heart’s beating faster
then it truly deserves
takes all the strength you can muster
to make this car swerve
thus avoiding hereafter
after all what point would it serve
This life is killing me
it cuts me deeper than my nerves
just relinquish and be free
so whats its point
what does it serve
Look into your dead eyes
I see straight into the black
you’re lacking in emotion
I don’t get nothing no nothing back
I see fear in your dead eyes
It’s dilated and its sad
losing sight of devotion
and you’ll never get that
not ever get that back
dead eyes black
Life is one long encounter
through the dark and perverse
when it became such a downer
you put the gears in reverse
i could have tried so much harder
follow chapter and verse
each day i lived thereafter
it’s both a blessing and a curse
This life is killing me
it cuts me deeper than my nerves
just relinquish and be free
so whats its point
what does it serve
Look into your dead eyes
I see straight into the black
you’re lacking in emotion
I don’t get nothing no nothing back
I see fear in your dead eyes
It’s dilated and its sad
losing sight of devotion
and you’ll never get that
not ever get that back
dead eyes black
Look into your dead eyes
I see straight into the black
you’re lacking in emotion
I don’t get nothing no nothing back
I see fear in your dead eyes
It’s dilated and its sad
losing sight of devotion
and you’ll never get that
not ever get that back
dead eyes black
Look into your dead eyes
I see straight into the black
you’re lacking in emotion
I don’t get nothing no nothing back
I see fear in your dead eyes
It’s dilated and its sad
losing sight of devotion
and you’ll never get those
dead eyes black
at the end of your nerves
my heart’s beating faster
then it truly deserves
takes all the strength you can muster
to make this car swerve
thus avoiding hereafter
after all what point would it serve
This life is killing me
it cuts me deeper than my nerves
just relinquish and be free
so whats its point
what does it serve
Look into your dead eyes
I see straight into the black
you’re lacking in emotion
I don’t get nothing no nothing back
I see fear in your dead eyes
It’s dilated and its sad

and you’ll never get that
not ever get that back
dead eyes black
Life is one long encounter

Look into your dead eyes
I see straight into the black
you’re lacking in emotion
I don’t get nothing no nothing back
I see fear in your dead eyes
It’s dilated and its sad
losing sight of devotion
and you’ll never get those
dead eyes black

I feel this song is about the need for a way out of this often endless abyss of darkness people sometimes find themselves in. The eyes going black symbolize that the windows to the soul have gone dead & hope has now vacated and the situation\'s beyond dire indeed.
