Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
You hold it in your hands
And let it flow, this cruelty
Of youth as you fall again
Alone, in the compromise of truth.

[Chorus:]
It's in the eyes,
I can tell you will always be danger.
We had it tonight, why do you leave it open?

[Verse 2:]
And the stakes remain too high
For this silent mind,
And the shake, the lonely itch
That courses down my spine,
To leave a love divine,
Don't leave a love divine,
It's a watertight excuse.

[Chorus:]
It's in the eyes,
I can tell you will always be danger.
We had it tonight, why do you always seek absolution?
It's in the eyes,
I can tell you will always be danger.

[Verse 3:]
How does the earth around your feet
Just slip away?
And the bandit that greets you in the night
With snake eyes, the most precious kind.

[Chorus:]
It's in the eyes!
I can tell you will always be danger!
We had it tonight! Why do you always seek absolution?
It's in the eyes!
I can tell you will always be danger!
