Sean Hadley - Green Velvet Eyes Lyrics

In the spotlight they stand in line
Dressed in dreams that aren't their own
Chasing shadows seeking signs
But in their eyes the truth is shown
Green velvet eyes they're hiding tears
A smile painted on with fears
In a world that's cold and blind
Beauty's chains they're all confined
Judged by faces not by hearts
Wounds they carry hidden scars
Standards set by empty minds
But the soul is what we find
Green velvet eyes they see the lies
The mirror shows what they despise
But deep inside they know the truth
Beauty fades but not the youth
Marching forward to the beat
Of a drum that's bittersweet
Like lambs led to the field
In their eyes the pain revealed
Green velvet eyes they search the skies
For a place where no one cries
A world where hearts can be set free
No more chains of what they see
And when the lights go down at last
They leave behind a broken past
No more masks no more disguise
Just the truth in green velvet eyes
