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…
