Eyes To Inside

They say the eyes are a gateway to what's inside So let me in and confront the demons you hide Oh young maiden with eyes of forest green Don't be afraid to show me that demon you call mean For you are not alone let me tell you I will be there to shoulder the burden too They say the eyes are a gateway to what's inside Oh young maiden with skin as pale as pure snow Look to me in times you are feeling low I will be the net that catches thee So I will say again you can count on me They say the eyes are a gateway to what's inside I can see the hurt and pain in your eyes From those people who you thought wouldn't tell you lies Abuse of trust and kindness, betrayal and despair From those who said they loved and would always be there I can see it all in your eyes alone Even though you tried to keep it from me I can see through you into the unknown Into your soul where those demons lie But even these would not deter me For I care to much of you to let you die No young maiden you are not alone Even though you try to distance yourself from others So as to not feel the pain like from past lovers I will help you see These demons inside you hold no power To wear down such a pretty flower No matter how much pain and sorrow they bring You must not give in and drag those blades across your skin Or take the doctors death again Instead let me fight them for you so you may sing Yes so you can sing freely and breathe easily They say the eyes are a gateway to what's inside I will fight your demons for you so don't despair Believe when I say I will always care And never leave you behind For you are far to kind As I stare into your eyes I can see The fires and passion of wanting to be free From the pain and demons The pills and blades Even though the scars may never fade I will be there for you always Through your eyes I see All that pain and misery They say the eyes are a gateway to what's inside Say the eyes are a gateway to what's inside The eyes are a gateway to inside Eyes a gateway inside Eyes inside
