Your Hands, My Eyes

When I die I want your hands on my eyes
Hold them closed so my spirit doesn’t boomerang back
Into my body
When I die I want to just go like I’m meant to
Nobody lives forever after all.

When I die I want your hands on my eyes
They might be shaking but I won’t notice anyway
I’m already gone
But I’ll still take those tears, that sob and that whisper
There’s a part of me that knows that’s goodbye

When I die I want your hands on my eyes
I want you to cut loose the spirit of my vision
Let it roam the world
They all thought you needed a body to live here
But I have proved them wrong, and so should you

When I die I want your hands on my eyes
I swear I can feel your fingerprints on my eyelids
And that’s your pulse too
So you better not worry about tomorrow
Because I know you’ll be fine without me
