Verse 1 I stand here now Words overflow Thoughts racing fast Nowhere to go I watched wars burn Night after night Cities in smoke Orange in light Kids in the dust Sirens that cry I shook my head Then walked on by Comfort at home Warm paradise Now I meet your stare truth in your eyes Verse 2 I praised the mind Science and light Labs in the dark Working all night Quantum debates Elegant lines Mapping the stars Measuring time I spoke in terms Cold and precise Used clever words To sound so wise But all that logic Turns to disguise When I face your look truth in your eyes Verse 3 Then there is love Quiet and real Something we fear Too much to feel I mocked the thought Said it was weak Better stay strong Better stay sleek Truth is it’s fear Hidden in pride Walls that I built Deep down inside Your silence speaks Cuts through my lies Standing here I see truth in your eyes Verse 4 Violence begins Small and unseen Cold little jokes Casual and mean Words like a blade Hidden in play Tiny contempt Given away I’ve done that too More than I’d like Turning sharp pride Into a spike But your quiet stare Strips the disguise Every excuse dies truth in your eyes Verse 5 Sadness below Under the skin Laughing outside Storms locked within People pretend Everything’s fine Masks in a row Perfect design I did that too Humor and pride Sarcasm sharp Pain pushed aside Now when you look Something inside Breaks as I see truth in your eyes [Outro Verse] All of my words Fall to the ground All of my pride Loses its sound Wars and the lies We justify All of the ways We turn the eye But in your gaze Nothing complies Every illusion dies truth in your eyes
