Empty Eyes

Empty Eyes
Empty eyes harbor rivers of tears
Formed from the endless nights of loathing screaming crying out for someone to hear
Sink into the sheets
Drown inside the bed
Doubt's a bird of prey
That nests inside my head
Move
So what's the point of praying if the voices say I'm fine?
Tell me what's the point of running if i can't escape my mind?
The mouth of God was sewn shut
Or I've been living as a deaf man
I've drowned him out
The mouth of God was sewn shut
Livid
You’ve got it all backwards,
And upside down
Don’t see a problem when a youth is lying face down
In a puddle of blood, a concrete cemetery (cemetery)
I’ve wondered, I’ve pondered what he could have been thinking,
Before they filled his back with lead
A deadly portrait was painted, black and blue with a splash of red
Livid
You think that this is your world and we’re just living in it
So sick of the nonsense spilling from your mouth
You’re finished
Last round, knocked down, lights out
Good riddance
God knows i'm livid
Hands up if you wanna catch a bullet,
Get on the ground, get on the ground and
Beg for your life (beg for your life)
No peace, no truth
No shame, aim and shoot
No rights, no apologies
Dead to rights, born to bleed
Break the oath you swore,
If I'm the bull, you’re the matador
With blood on your hands and fear in your heart,
I swear I'll rip you apart
We're all gonna go blind if we can't see eye to eye
We're all gonna go blind if we can't see eye to eye
Livid
You think that this is your world and we’re just living in it
So sick of the nonsense spilling from your mouth
You’re finished
Last round, knocked down, lights out
Good riddance
God knows i'm livid
(No use in seeking justice
It always ends up the same)
No use in seeking justice
It always ends up the same
(No justice, no justice)
The odds are stacked against the victim,
Always taking the blame
No one’s perfect,
But you’re far from innocent
Live life colorblind,
Or reap the consequence:
Hell on earth.
Livid
Livid
With blood on your hands and fear in your heart,
I swear I'll rip you apart.
Wormtongue
Let go
Dropped from the highest of heights by the ones I trusted the most
Where do you go when you surrender your soul and it’s torn to pieces?
So cold
The hate that you hold, shown through slanderous words
Always under attack, knife in my back, and you watch as I bleed, fading slowly
Spin your web of lies,
Shove your words down my throat until I suffocate
Can anyone hear me? I’m down below
Cast into the unknown
I apologize,
For anything I’ve done, I’m not the only one
Who holds the blame
Yet you curse my name
Putrid filth falls from your mouth as others lay in wait, accepting their rations
The rumors, the hearsay spread like wildfire
Wormtongue, spare me the kiss of betrayal, do what you came for (Matt. 26:50)
Hoping one day to see my downfall
I see a wolf dressed up in sheepskin;
Waiting for the sun to set before it closes in;
The coward dares to wear a crown;
Tell me to kneel but I won’t bow down
Spin your web of lies,
Shove your words down my throat until I suffocate
Can anyone hear me? I’m down below
Cast into the unknown
I apologize,
For anything I’ve done, I’m not the only one
Who holds the blame
Yet you curse my name
Wormtongue
Your kingdom will rot
Before You Leave
Tell me are you happy now
Watching this house that we built together burn to the ground?
Dance in the ashes of my casket,
Spill my blood on the floor,
Dwell in the rafters of my home,
But leave your heart at the door
Her drug, my medicine
Get addicted, ripped to shreds, and swallowed whole
The comedown is heavy, weighs down on my back
Wallow in the wake of years lost
So much time wasted on a better self
How can I be better without any help?
Embrace the dark
Watch me sink, let me suffer in silence
The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like you.
The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like
The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like
Stay with me a little longer,
Before you leave, spend some time at the bottom with me
Brooding by moonlight
While I shiver in the cold
Alone.
My body responds to the weather,
My dread for each day grows and grows
If I smile, knock all my teeth out, because I’m faking it
Yeah it feels like I’m falling,
But I've already hit the floor
Your body is my temple,
My sin that I’ll answer for
Push and pull, yes and no,
Tooth to flesh, nail to bone
You undress, I unfold
Embrace the dark,
Watch me sink, let me suffer in silence
The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like you
Dance upon my ashes
Dance upon my ashes
Your burden no longer
Erase me as I have erased you.
l’ll find better weather with somebody new
