Behind These Eyes

Behind my eyes, I am lost.
Behind my eyes, I know I lied.
Behind my eyes, I'm crying.
Behind my eyes, I know I'm scared.
Behind my eyes, I'm drifting farther.
Behind my eyes, I'm cursed.

I'm cursed to have a brain. I've been cursed with thought. I've been cursed to think. I can no longer enjoy living. My brain is killing it's self. I can no longer enjoy a day because my brain is too deep in thought to see beauty anymore.

Behind my eyes, I am alone.
Behind my eyes, I am wishing.
Behind my eyes, I am screaming.
Behind my eyes, I am lying.
Behind my eyes, I am drowning.

I am drowning in everything. Life is suffocating me. Every time I swim up to breath, another save come crashing down. I can not breath. And so I cry. I am drowning. But you leave me here to die. Alone and afraid.

Behind my eyes are stars.
Behind my eyes are scars.
Behind my eyes are lies.
Behind my eyes, are cries.

I am lying to you. I'm crying out to you. But you leave me here to die. I am screaming out. I'm ignoring the pain in my scars. I try to focus on the stars but the pain is killing me. I'm screaming! And I'm asking. What do you see behind my eyes? Do you see a hollowed shell of happiness and lies? Because thats all I can see anymore.

     Behind my eyes is a wishful soul.
