BEHIND THESE EYES

I wear a mask to hide my true self
I accept all blame you just remember my name
behind these eyes lies the truth uncovered
like a lost warrior you run from and hide
burying all your emotions deep inside

There is a stillness in the way the earth moves
potential to stop at any given moment and end
I just sit back and watch everyone else
try to figure me out, go ahead and try to call me out
so i can tell you that you don't know what your talking about
Try to go beyond these beautiful brown eyes

Behind these eyes you can see I'm living but not alive
how everyday i endure small paper cuts of pain
spilling over outside my veins, look into my soul and see
you could never be more punctual than me
its my time to tell it all i have arrived
so go ahead and spread your lies

And i take with me your perception of how you thought i was
how my eyes made you realize you don't know me half at all
perhaps this could have all been avoided
if you would stop trying to analyze me
stop trying to make believe you are better than me
because in the end none of it matters
none of this defines who we are
my time is up i put down my pen
close my eyes and start all over again
