Behind My Eyes

Verse 1 I closed my eyes and left the room The walls fell backwards into blue My body stayed there on the floor But I was somewhere more than more I heard a sound without a name It called me out, then called me in A thousand faces made of light Were laughing softly in my mind Pre-Chorus And I don’t know What I touched But it felt old And it knew too much Chorus I went behind my eyes Where the colours breathe Where the stars bend down And speak to me I saw my life Like a little flame And every fear Had lost its name I went behind my eyes And I came back changed I came back changed Verse 2 There was no clock, there was no door No me, no you, no after, before Just endless patterns folding wide Like God was hiding in plain sight I met myself when I was small He wasn’t angry anymore He took my hand and let me cry Then disappeared into the sky Pre-Chorus And I don’t know If it was real But I know this I know how it feels Chorus I went behind my eyes Where the colours breathe Where the stars bend down And speak to me I saw my life Like a little flame And every fear Had lost its name I went behind my eyes And I came back changed I came back changed Bridge Maybe heaven is a hallway Maybe time is just a song Maybe love is what is left there When everything else is gone Maybe death is not an ending Maybe we don’t understand Maybe I was only dreaming With the universe in my hands Final Chorus I went behind my eyes Where the colours breathe Where the stars bend down And speak to me I saw my life Like a little flame And every fear Had lost its name I went behind my eyes And I came back changed Not all the way But not the same Outro I closed my eyes I left my name I saw the light And came back changed
