if you'd look into these eyes

if you'd look into these eyes
look past the fire that keeps my demons at bay
past the smoke an mirrors
you'd see the sadness of a lonely man
if you looked deep enough you'd see
I would do anything
I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die
to have her back in these arms tonight

no amount of whiskey will drown out the sorrow
no amount of drugs will kill the pain
no amount of denial will change anything
I know cause I've tried it all 
the only thing that's the same as yesterday
is I'll love her till I die

got no faith in a god who watched my heart 
as it turned to stone 
told the angels they could sing their songs elsewhere
In a world that takes away everything you'v ever loved
an gives you nothing but loneliness 
when love is gone you're left to walk 
in this wicked world alone

if you'd look into these eyes
look past the fire that keeps my demons at bay
past the smoke an mirrors
you'd see a man who'd like to believe in redemption 
but it'l take a miracle to save me
an the savior just left town
they say in order for the spirits live 
a man has to die 
but I don't believe the death of Me would
bring the spirit of love back


if you'd look into these eyesl

look past the fire that keeps my demons at bay

past the smoke an mirrors
you'd see 
if you're standing here looking for salvation 
this is the wrong place to be
in this world you see 
there's no absolution for our sins
