The eyes say so much
You never know what your eyes
Convey to others I'm always wondering
Can people see how much Pain
I hide underneath the mask
They say eyes are the window to the soul
Yet if that's so what will you see
When you look in my eyes
The eyes say so much
Is it obvious how much hell I went
Through just to come out altered from it
Will you be able to see the broken parts
That all want something different
Is the cacophony of suffering obvious
Can you see how uncertain I am
Will you see all the scars I hide
Are you able to understand the ghost
That are in my gray blue eyes
The eyes say so much
Can you love the ghost I've become
This ghost just wants to feel loved
It's all I crave to not be what was
Drilled into my head worthless
That altered hell growing up
I became numb to hell to survive it
But can you love someone like me
Broken with a memory that's nothing
More than smoke and ash
I'm always running from the horrors
That constantly haunt me
Forcing me into my past that breaks me
Is it showing in my eyes I have no clue
The eyes say so much
What do you see in my eyes
When I'm able to escape these horrors
Is it joy or something else or is
It nothing at all what do my eyes tell you
I'm alway wondering what my eyes say
What do they say I can't look myself
In the eyes I never could because
Of the dead look I see in them
The world is held in the eyes yet
What I see in my eyes are nothing
But the nightmares and fear from the past
The eyes say so much
Do I wear a mask over my eyes
Can you distinguish emotions in them
Or are they just a void of silence
Before the strike of thunder and lightning
Do these dead and pained eyes show
Any sort or emotion in them
Or do I kill the emotions before
They can even reach my eyes
Are my eyes just as cold as I am
The eyes say so much
Wanting my eyes to convey the warmth
That I so desperately crave
The warmth of love that was
Starved from me growing up
The warmth I see in the eyes of others
It makes me envious knowing they
Never had to die to survive hell
Yet I can't be more happy for them
Because I wouldn't wish people
To go through the hell I casually
Walked through to survive to this point
The eyes say so much
