owls eye

Where it began was the moment you stepped outside

And where it landed was right in front of your eyes

The way it goes is

There's things that you were never told

Magic in your hands and bones

And treasure in the dreams you wrote

In a minute I might lose you

To the monsters in your closet

Leaking from the owls eyes

The colors of your bedroom that you left behind

Where it began was right when it left your side

And where it ended

Was with you tucked in the back of your mind

The way it goes is

There's things that you were never told

Magic in your hands and bones

And treasure in the dreams you wrote

In a minute I might lose you

To the monsters in your closet

Leaking from the owls eyes

The colors of your bedroom that you left behind
