lyrics

Clear eyes full hearts can’t lose

So I guess I can’t win

Since I put my blood into the pen

and my soul into the words

because everyone knows

the soul's in the eyes, yes the eyes

they disguise a case of your pitiful demise

Wait a sec, you’re still breathing

But I can’t tell if you can feel inside

So I guess that makes you a vessel,

Yes

Only that will put your body to the test

so please,

try your best you’ll be put to rest

You have the world on your side

But you try to hide it lock it

Keep masking the pain with the masking tape

That's no longer there, it's gone, long forgetten

Your soul's something more, it's rotten

And finally you realise when you wear the disguise

Everything you thought about is no longer valid

So please when you take it off you will scream

Everything will be better, you will see

Now it’s time to take back your past

Erase all your life

Take off that thing that disguised your eyes

You never looked at me when you lied to me

You always looked at the ground right between your feet

As if you wanted to be under there

Buried underground because you were scared

But please don’t leave, please don’t leave

I need you more than you need me
