Gold in My Eyes

Verse 1 Between leaves made of light I stand still, the wind already knows my name. My skin remembers what the world won’t heal, quiet scars from hidden pain. Golden eyes, tired from seeing too much, feeling more than I should have known. I smile softly, but deep inside a heart of borrowed flames has grown. Pre-Chorus I hear you before you speak, feel your shaking in the air. They call it weakness — I call it me, when empathy is there. Chorus They say there’s gold in my eyes, but it’s only the light of your fear. I carry the world in my hands, even when it burns me here. I don’t fall, I glow in the doubt, staying soft in a ruthless time. If you’re lost in the shadows, look at me — my light is mine. Verse 2 A single word beneath my skin, written close to my heart. “Empathy” — quiet but loud within, I loved too deep from the start. Pearls on my neck, but the weight is real, every sorrow runs through my veins. I’m no angel, no myth to feel, just someone who sees the pain. Pre-Chorus I sense you before you break, know the crack inside your trust. They call it burden — I call it fate, and carry it because I must. Chorus They say there’s gold in my eyes, but it’s only the light of your fear. I carry the world in my hands, even when it burns me here. I don’t fall, I glow in the doubt, staying soft in a ruthless time. If you’re lost in the shadows, look at me — my light is mine. Bridge Maybe I’m too open, too close, too real for this cold place. But I’d rather feel it all in full than never know true grace. Final Chorus (soft → strong) Yeah, there’s gold in my eyes, not to blind you, just to see. If you think that you are broken, stay — you can walk with me. I don’t fall, I rise through the fire, from ashes I become. And if you feel absolutely nothing, borrow my heart — it’s yours, my love. Outro Gold in my eyes, but love lives deeper within.
