Eyes of Deception

[Intro]
Silent shadows whisper in the night
Lost within these restless thoughts, I fight

[Verse 1]
These eyes see through the lies, the masks they wear
Detect the hollow smiles, the cold despair
Walking through the shadows, drowning in my mind
Seeking truth, but what I find is hard to find

[Pre-Chorus]
Decaying from inside, I feel the ache
Hating what I see, the choices I mistake
Alone in silent pain, I face my fears
Counting all my broken hopes and tears

[Chorus]
Through these eyes, I see the truth unmasked
Fading hope and love that long ago I cast
Ignoring the lies, I choose to stay
In my world of pain, decay, and dismay

[Bridge]
All the fake smiles, they unravel now
Revealing scars I don’t know how
To heal, to run, to hide away
From the darkness that’s here to stay

[Outro]
Alone with my thoughts of hate and denial
Waiting for the dawn, just for a while
Until the night consumes me whole
Lost inside my shattered soul
