3. Right Eye
I discovered the static gaze into my right eye on accident.
I watch myself.
The critic gets bored.
(Right eye.)
[VERSE 1]
A spider woman lives in my right eye.
Her eyes are closed but she sees it all.
I hold her gaze, time falls away.
She weaves scattered memories into a web I can finally see.
I've been scared to look before. But now it's my door.
The past rearranges.
I hear her whisper crawling up my cheek, "You've been here before."
She knows all the angles I stood just out of frame.
She stayed in the quiet, my tears were her rain.
I can turn out the light, but I know what she sees.
[PRE-CHORUS]
There's two of me in the glass today.
One glares back, and one wants to play.
I trust the one who stayed.
[CHORUS]
(Right eye. Right eye.)
Some days I forget I've got eyes at all.
I move like a ghost with my back to the wall.
She knows what I hide when I say I'm okay.
She knows every secret I drown in the drain.
(Right eye. Right eye.)
What if the mirror remembers it all?
(The mirror remembers it all.)
[VERSE 2]
I asked the spider, "Why do I always freeze?"
She said, "You're still trying to release."
I said, "How do I make this stop?"
She breathed,
and my whole world dropped.
I look away. She watches back.
I leave the mirror. She stays the same.
She sees my mouth rehearsing pain,
before I even know I'm doing it again.
She saw what happened and refuses to flatter it.
She tells me, "Every start begins inside the place you've never been."
[PRE-CHORUS]
There's two of me in the glass today.
One glares back, and one wants to play.
I trust the one who stayed.
[CHORUS]
(Right eye. Right eye.)
Some days I forget I've got eyes at all.
I move like a ghost with my back to the wall.
She knows what I hide when I say I'm okay.
She knows every secret I drown in the drain.
(Right eye. Right eye.)
What if the mirror remembers it all?
(The mirror remembers it all.)
[BRIDGE]
Her web is a maze. I run in place.
All those years avoiding this half of my face.
I think she watches me sleep.
I think she knows what I keep.
The truth sits shallow — sewn in the seams.
[CHORUS]
(Right eye. Right eye.)
Some days I forget I've got eyes at all.
I move like a ghost with my back to the wall.
She knows what I hide when I say I'm okay.
She knows every secret I drown in the drain.
(Right eye. Right eye.)
What if the mirror remembers it all?
(The mirror remembers it all.)
[OUTRO]
I show up for me in my right eye.
She weaves the old shame into something new.
My smile turns real with her watching my face.
I trust the one who stayed.
(Right eye. Right eye. Right eye.)
