Hide Your Eyes

Hide Your Eyes 10/3/2011

If you are worried about a lie
Then be sure and hide your eyes
And if you are afraid of the truth
Then go ahead and pretend.

Find something small and fake
Just so you can forget
Cover it up with a shallow gloss
And make it up
All over again.

A thin veneer separates
A whole world of truth
Just a piece of plastic film
Transparent like cellophane.

Wrap it tightly
So that I can't breath
But it doesn't even matter
Becuase you can't forget
What isn't even there.

We think no one knows
So we put on a show
Hiding the truth
Adn hiding our eyes.

Running away
And running scared
As they will
And as they should.

They don't know
Adn I don't care
Because the truth is out
And I don't scare.

You pay attention to appearance
But ignore whats inside
So you make sure everyone sees
But you never forget
To hide your eyes.

If there is no answer
Then I know why
No matter what is said
Or unsaid.

I have made up my mind
And I am coming home
Coming home fast
And coming in hot.

The steel wheels
Grind against the ground
And the engine is straining
In its mounts
But I am not scared
And nothing can stop me now.

My heart is stronger
And my spirit is stronger still
Better than the ugliness
And better than the fraud.

I will see the end come
And my hands know how to squeeze
Tighter and tighter
Until the heart stops
And the end is done.

Hide your eyes
And pretend its not your fault
Hide your eyes
And say it doesn't hurt.

Behind the vision
There is no remorse
A cold and fierce vengeance
Coming back to claim the truth
And coming back
Full of fury.

The winds whip up
A cloud of dust
And inside your world shall crumble
Even if you are quiet
And even if
You hide your eyes.
