Inside Your Eyes
Inside your eyes
I can see an ocean of sorrow
Everyday hope dies
Perpetual wait for a better tomorrow
All that you ever need is love
Your heart wants to feed on love
Is love really the only thing you want?
Why do voices in my head begin to chant?
Every single time I look into your eyes
Going a little deeper, ocean of tears dries
I see a greedy fire burning fierce and bright
Ready to burn everyone who enters inside
Someone who is kind
And does not mind
Getting wet entering your ocean of sorrow
Wanting to give you a better tomorrow
Unaware of what you are hiding underneath
Unaware of what you are going to bequeath
How many have already burned?
How many are waiting for their turn?
I feel sorry for the ones who perished trying to be your sun
Don't try it on me, I'm not naive enough to be the next one
