Cover art for Rattling Locks lyrics by Josh Ritter

I love the question "Are your eyes as empty as they look?" Followed by the confirmation that they are empty, but How the hell "can your two eyes be as empty as they look?" -Sometimes the coldness in people & the walls that they build are mind boggling.

"All along I thought I was giving you my love But you were just stealin' it, now I want it back Every single thing you took"

-She's like a black hole who just absorbed his love without him realizing at first he was being sucked dry...(damn vampires)

He couldn't have closed the song any better- he'd rather spending the night in hell than work at the heart of a stranger who can't even feel something as human as heartsickness.
