Eyes Lyrics

Something writhes beneath the surface

Breaking through my skin

It's filling up the empty

Now I'm hollowed out within

But I don't know just how far it goes

In that cold forgiving morning

I feel their eyes resting on me

But as I stand and face the sunrise

I can't escape what I don't see

'Cause I don't know just how much I don't know

And even though I'm frozen

My mind can wander free

But now my garden starts to crumble

I feel it tramped beneath their feet

I don't want to be your distraction

I'm just here for me

I am not the face you should look at

It's your sleep, not my dream

So keep your eyes off me

Thoughts are a plague and I'm infected

I can't escape what they might think

Though all these songs have been my life raft

I think the ocean made me sink

And now I'll know just how deep it goes

And even though I'm drowning

Now I will witness what they see

As their emotions drag me under

Their words fill up my lungs and I can't breathe

I don't want to be your distraction

I'm just here for me

I am not the face you should look at

It's your sleep, not my dream

So keep your eyes off me

I'm so afraid that I will send myself off

That I will stop missing what I have lost

I know that people change but what if I

Am a person taken before my time?

I don't want to be your distraction

I'm just here for me

I am not the face you should look at

It's your sleep, not my dream

I refuse to be your distraction

I'm just here for me

I am not the face you should look at

It's your sleep, not my dream

So keep your eyes off me
