Magic Eye by miscellaneous owl

You paint a pretty little picture
Self-portrait of the hero dressed in white
I ask myself the question:
Paint inside or read between the lines?

I bought a magic eye book
All flowers and hearts and candy
Held it up like a window to take a look
Tried to see the secrets inside and

I look through, the picture fades, and all I see is you
Doing the things you said you'd never do

Magic eye,
I see right through the lies you've told me each and every day
The snake inside the sea of flowers, the skull inside the rainbow colors,
The sailboat that only sails away
Farther each day
Until it all melts away

Cross my heart and cross my eyes, dear
You ask what I'm so cross about
I'm cross at all those lies, dear
Did you think I was too dumb to find out?

Looking at that glass half empty
The picture is rippled with tears and stains
When I try to look through the window
The glass is clear but all I see is pane

And then my eyes are clear and all I see is you
Doing the things you said you'd never do

Magic eye,
I see right through the lies you've told me each and every day
The snake inside the sea of flowers, the skull inside the rainbow colors,
The sailboat that only sails away
Farther each day
Until it all melts away
