Eyes of the Ocean

Something fades with the setting sun When light refracts and then is done A perfect thought's but once complete And then there's nothing more to see Hold within your hollow eyes The hope that stars can never die The fallen thirst for true despair Can only leave you standing there Among the shattered lights of evening Eyes like prisons to the soul Prisms burning through our seeming Into colors once so whole So nevermind the light inside That burns its crimson through your mind Leave behind all that you find And turn your eyes deep into mine I'd tear the tears straight from my eyes Before I'd hear you cry So we are here, the moon above Reflecting none of hope and love But none can be enough When we find all our hopes and fears A river of our tears Raging down in torrents to the sea Where aspirations lay asleep Drowned far too deeply in the night above Is this enough for you to see That I, too, deeply feel The urgency to make what's real Into the night of never-ending bliss One kiss is all I ask to forget One tear shed for the beauty Of who once we thought we were You've held despair inside your hollow eyes so long I heard your empty cries while wandering in the wilderness Of who we once thought we could be Oh can't you see I just can't help but see The emptiness in you And me
