Of taking so many arrows from your eyes

Of taking so many arrows from your eyes

My chest looks like... you know what?

A shooting target1

There's no room for more holes.

Of taking so many arrows from your eyes

My chest looks like... you know what?

A shooting target

There's no room for more holes.

Your eyes kill more than rifle bullets

Than strychnine poisoning2

Than a Bahiano's3 dagger4

Your eyes kill more than a car crash

They kill more than a gunshot

Of taking so many arrows from your eyes

My chest looks like... you know what?

A shooting target

There's no room for more holes.
