Behind These Eyes
Behind These Eyes…
Behind these eyes
What evil lurks,
What beauty skirts the edges of my mind?
Hand in hand with such subtlety
And gale force wind
Trapped for just one moment in time
Within the eye of this storm…
Capture the moment
Freeze frame on the screen
Photographed in still life
And yet it’s fading like a dream
Time draws its own conclusions
Not much matters for you or I
Good intent has always led to hell
Truth nothing more than a well wrapped lie
Behind these eyes
What evil lurks,
What beauty skirts the edges of my mind?
Hand in hand with such subtlety
And gale force wind
I’m trapped within the eye of this storm…
I can’t let go of the image
Its grip is deep under my skin
And the path to the truth is so elusive
That I don’t know where to begin
Should I follow my head?
Walk the straight and narrow
Or follow my heart
The direct line to the archer’s arrow
Behind these eyes
What evil lurks,
What beauty skirts the edges of my mind…
