Behind the eyes
.
Behind the eyes
.
Behind the eyes
(Believe)
.
There exists a light behind the eyes
If only we can find the time to pay enlightened mind
(Believe)
See that which the naked eye declines to entertain
Demonstrate relentless stride to endless ventures gained
(Believe)
Take confession
Face the grate and state enough’s enough
Break convention’s tasteless chains and call erasure’s bluff
Find the voice most deep within
Listen to the skylark sing
Stay up to ungodly hour to watch the night owl do its thing
See the magic tragically unseen
(Believe)
That once so emphatically believed
.
See the magic tragically unseen
(Believe)
That once so emphatically believed
.
There exists a light behind the eyes each time they weep
Rite of passage to high tide in sweep
Endless seas sequentially perceived
Every time a teardrop be relieved
If only we can find the time to pay enlightened mind
To everything sweet nothings misconceive
.
Something this way comes
Would be most wicked to defeat
The only friend the end dare not decree
Innermost potential is potentially obscene
Once we boast essential essence gleaned
From deep beneath the skin we shed
Each time our sweetest dreams be bled
(Believe)
(Believe)
.
Would give both eyes to watch the sunrise in moonlit reprise
(Believe)
Ride each ebb and flow composed to prizing rhythmic rise
(Believe)
Go the distance time and time again
No questions posed
(Believe)
If only to see single soul repose deposed of blight
.
Sleep with one eye open
To keep vigil of the night
Be the lighthouse stood upon the rocky crag in plainest sight
Show the only part of me I held back for myself
Overrule the rule that states I’m owned by fading mental health
Hold the mic so tightly that I might just earn ovation
If nothing else for changeless dedication
.
This is no vocation
This is everything I am
All of me endorsed to bleed each intravenous dam
This is every best laid plan I never got around to
This is why defiantly I stand
Here upon uneven ground
No fever dream be damned
For I have seen with keen
Believe that there exists a light behind our eyes
To prize as infinitely grand
.
There exists a light behind the eyes
(Behind the eyes)
(Believe)
If only we can find the time to pay enlightened mind
See that which the naked eye declines to entertain
Demonstrate relentless stride to endless ventures gained
Take confession
Face the grate and state enough’s enough
(Enough’s enough)
Break convention’s tasteless chains and call erasure’s bluff
(Enough’s enough)
Find the voice most deep within
Listen to the skylark sing
Stay up to ungodly hour to watch the night owl do its thing
(Believe)
(Believe)
(Believe)
See the magic tragically unseen
That once so emphatically believed
.
See the magic tragically unseen
(See the magic tragically unseen)
That once so emphatically believed
(That once so emphatically believed)
.
See the magic tragically unseen
That once so emphatically believed
.
(Believe)
Emphatically believed
Emphatically believed
Emphatically believed
.
(Believe)
Emphatically believed
Emphatically believed
Emphatically believed
.
Believe (repeat)
.
Find the voice most deep within
Listen to the skylark sing
Stay up to ungodly hour
To watch the night owl do its thing
See the magic tragically unseen
That once so emphatically believed
.
See the magic tragically unseen
That once so emphatically believed
.
See the magic tragically unseen
That once so emphatically believed
.
See the magic tragically unseen
That once so emphatically believed
