Behind Your Eyes
Behind those eyes
What do you hide
Is it the scars that won't go away
The pain in your heart
Riping you apart
The words that they say
That are sharper than blades
The blood that you spill
The cuts that they make.
Is it tears full of rage
Or a bitter after taste
Is it the mess that's in your head
the thoughts that you bear
The shattering glares
Is it their jokes
Or the way they laugh
The time that they spare
Just to tare you in two.
Is your body a cage
binding you tight
Or are they nightmares hunting you at night
Is it the colour of your skin
Stained with injustice
The bruises and burns
That stays in your heart
Are you bound by chains
That drag you down while you walk
Is it that constant thought
Of the hate that they give.
Is it there stone hard hearts
And locked up minds
Is it the pain that you feel
At the end of the day
When you lie on your bed
And cry it all away.
