Their eyes
Behind those eyes
Paradise lies
In front of you smiles
The boy who tries and tries
To make the girl smile and love
The girl who only knows despise
Each day in bed she sleeps - she slowly cries
Thinking of beautiful things - the black crows and the butterflies
But in his attempt the boys heart slowly dies
His mind knows this isn’t wise
But his dying heart believes in her eyes
His dying heart believes otherwise
He wants to know why from happiness she shies
He knows he can make the girl who has never talked smile
And in doing so he will the cruel unbelieving kingdom surprise
He gazes up to the heavens in the skies
And he wishes a final wish – one final cry
The girl she appears before him
The silent music plays
The lights of the world dim
“Your eyes aren’t mine,” he says
“I’m trying to see what you see”
“But I’m finding it hard” he says
“I’m not you – you’re not me…”
She puts her fingers on his lips
“shh”
“You’re eyes aren’t mine” she says
“You will never see what I see”
In their smiles
I see the hatred that lies
Behind their hating eyes
