Human eyes can't see

They say I won't be home for Christmas now.
I'm guessing, as the words they used weren't clear,
But I felt the falling of the lids; a sly glance to the hills.
A tightening of the pupils
And I knew.

I'm sorry for the stupid things I've done.
Saying it's easy, but the truth may block my throat,
Even now I can't quite focus and the evil in my heart still thrills.
A tightening of the ligature,
And I knew.

I know that all their human eyes can't see.
Can't penetrate my head; Let them try to see my pleasure!
It is hidden from sight and X-rays; the fools they are can't know.
A tightening of my tin foil hat
Will do.
