It is said that eyes are a window to your soul...Are yours alive with mystery? Or dying of dreams untold?
Alone with the silence, I took the time to dream
Got lost in the moment, now I'm part of the unseen
Walking, breathing, feeling, yet somehow not alive
Like a shadow in the darkness, barely able to survive
The sun no longer shines
As I look toward the skies
All I see is darkness
Through these empty eyes
The days when you would smile were the best I ever knew
The weeks when you were crying should have given me a clue
Lost inside your fairytale, I could never play my part
So I rewrote your happy ending and broke your wanting heart
Trapped inside my mind and drowning in your doubt
Caught between my silence and the words my silence shouts
Wishing that you were happy
But knowing I never try
All I see is pain
Through these empty eyes
I never meant to hurt you with three words born from a sigh
After all this time, I should have known I felt a lie
I tried to believe it, yearned to make it true
Then the echoes of my heartbeat whispered I love you
I want to feel your love
Though my heart can only cry
All I see is heartbreak
Through these empty eyes
Sometimes when I'm sleeping, I can sense an inner smile
After deceptive slumber, waking never seems worthwhile
So silently I sit, think, and wish for a dream
Knowing all I am is a lot less than it seems
I stare deep inside
Trying to find the highs
All I see is nothing
Through these empty eyes
Looking to tomorrow and forgetting all before
Surviving on a heartbeat and needing nothing more
Reminded by the ashes to never let things be
Consumed by the phoenix forever drifting in the sea
Lost inside my thoughts, now drowning in the past
Burning my own memories for a love I couldn't grasp
I bleed for hope in the future
Nearing the end of this life
All I see is failure
Through these empty eyes
Blessing the demons who've devoured my soul
Dancing in my misery, embracing the cold
Believing in the light, yet drawn toward the sin
Seeing all before me, finally, I'm him...Him
Reality escapes me
It's hiding in the lies
The day that death becomes me
I will fill these empty eyes
So when the final shadow falls, will your eyes tell their story of a vibrant soul burning with endless fire...or be a silent void, lost to all desire
