I open up my eye and I, I as my eye I stare and let it read my mind, eye as am I Scanning through that tangled maze I lose myself Who am I eye defines the thoughts run through my head And soon I find there's no way out, my eye is my again
Showing me around, these pathways so like the sun, I pretend it's just for fun As he me to run again would you like to be my friend
Eye look into eye and I try to draw the that lie and hide my fright, keep it out of mind Far away I a voice that shouts and demands Syllables and letters words of command Closer now, then from inside, I think I understand
you around, these pathways so profound Shining the sun, I pretend it's just for fun As I force you a gun - run, run Asking you like to be my friend
I into your eye, I pretend it's all fine I living the lie, I look into your eye
(This surface may hold the weight of all that's locked inside But will it help you clean slate, or do you just run and hide You can run...)
This fragile surface white and blue if studied reveal There's something in the depths below that I conceal Through years and of acting and the practice of my stare Has made it easy to if you didn't already know it was there
This mirror of the soul reflects both fake and real But you see too much of me I'll turn or keep it sealed So I the ground and hurry on, I run from how I feel To tell you my self-inflicted wounds that will never heal
