Eyes Unclouded

I couldn't see before
I was blinded by an image
Reflected in a broken mirror
The one you broke for me
I thought I could see you
As transparent and clear painted as you are
I believed you were really there
I created you
You never looked at me
Like I looked at you
And only now I've looked away
Do I really see you
Can't you see
We were a lie
A lie I tangled myself in
In fear of opening my eyes
But you can't
You never will
Not like I see now
Eyes unclouded by love
But was it really love
Or just something almost as false
As the image I once saw
In the mirror you broke for me

Painted Mask

We'll never know ourselves
Till we've known darkness
We'll never be who we'll become
Till we've been something we are not
We'll never see
Till we open our eyes
And we'll never run
Till we take the first step
Here I am
Running
And there you are
You're not living
You're not knowing
You'll never smile
Till you let yourself cry
And you'll never heal
Till you face the monster inside
And you'll never know him
Till you know yourself
Here I am
Running
And there you are
You're not living
You're not knowing
How can anyone know you
How can you know yourself
When you hide your face
Behind that painted mask

Statues
04:25

There once was a girl who loved you
More than you'll ever believe
She became her own work of art
For you she wished to please
She sculpted herself to your tastes
Whittled herself away
Until one day she disappeared
An empty body
With a pretty face
The tears she cried for you
They carved away her soul
And you
You just sat and stared
And you said nothing at all
Forever fearful she was
That you would look the other way
Lay eyes upon another
And no longer want to stay
She could never be enough
For only you she tried
But there was always one statue
fairer
Placed there by her side
The tears she cried for you
They carved away her soul
And you
You just sat and stared
And you said nothing at all
When she started to crumble
When her sharp detail began to decay
When all that was left of her faded
You got up
and you walked away

Virus
03:46
|

You stand up
But you don't stand tall
You stand so they can watch
And catch you when you fall
They crave to hold you closer
Your weakness is what sells
Embraced in fear you whisper
Save me from myself
There's a virus inside of you
And it's slowly taking control
It feeds off the false truth
That you'll never be good enough
And she- she's no different
Neither is the next girl
There must be something absent
When we're consumed with hating ourselves
Hold my hand
Take a step back
Behind the glossy skin, the perfect photographs
We're all so trapped
There's a virus inside of us
And it's slowly taking control
It feeds off the false truth
That we'll never be good enough

The Secret
04:30
|
|||
A year passes
And it's like nothing's changed
We're all still here
Warm embraces, smiling faces
But only I know the secret
Nothing is like it used to be
In the face of madness
I stood and I screamed
You can't have me
Crying as I chased the poisoned shadow away
In its place I planted a seed
And I watched it
As it blossomed
And I've never had a friend like this
To stand beside me in this freedom
I never knew I could feel so alive
See the world so clearly as it is
And I'm no longer afraid
No longer haunted by love
