Inside every soul secrets hide
Heart break, joy and lies.
How do I see the world
If only through your eyes.
Walls I build to protect my heart
No hand to ever touch.
Shadows cast a choking hold
As the heart slowly dies.
Happiness is a lonely state
The fears of life shake me to the core
The smiles mask the burning tears
Outward joys are just lies.
The pain inside kills the spirit
Future truths play out before my eyes.
If not in the now when may I ask
My hopes and promises are dancing upon the skies.
Each day that passes draws me closer to the end
My eyes see sadness, loneliness and fear.
The steps in this dance lead me through life
I ask what happens when the music stops.
The reflection in the mirror I no longer recognize
A heart of stone an image much older
If only through your eyes I see the world
What will happen when I find myself alone?
