[Intro]
Blue water Brown glass
Moon cut in half
Names in the foam
Gone when the tide laughs
[Verse 1]
Big swells break where the low reef waters drain
Ganja Smoke in the salt and the salt in the rain
I was reading warm hands like they meant forever
Till the wind changed shape and the smiles got feathered
Gold dream, dim rooms, eyes full of weather
Soft like a prayer, sharp like a letter
I heard the hush speak louder than the mouth
Saw the door swing wide when the light went out
Night put a mirror in the waves for me
Showed me the masks sink easy in the deep
Close was a coastline, not a vow
Love looked holy till the dark came down
Now I move like dusk, slow and aware
Feeling for the green
8 foot stalks in the air
You heard wordplay, I heard warning bells
Truth don’t shout here, it rises and swells
[Pre-Chorus]
Some hearts glow like windows
Some hearts blur like heat
Some hands hold you gently
Just to loosen their grip
[Chorus]
Real eyes realize real lies
Silver in the smile, darkness in the light
Real eyes realize real lies
Still water hide a blade in the tide
Real eyes realize real lies
Near is just a shape in the night
Real eyes realize real lies
Truth wash in slow when the moon is high
[Verse 2]
I seen roses grow out of poisoned ground
Felt cold in the room when the love looked loud
Some stand in your sun just to study your flame
Some speak your name like a lock and a chain
Sand keep memory better than men
Footprints promise what the wave won’t defend
So I read the drift, not the vow in the air
Read the pause, read the pull, read the weight in the stare
What stays when the table go thin?
What breath don’t shake when the storm roll in?
That’s where the face falls off the bone
That’s where the soul quit faking home
I got quiet enough to hear it clear
The brightest mouth held the thinnest cheer
Now the ocean talk back when the night goes still
Real know real by the chill in the will
[Pre-Chorus]
White foam, black reef
Sweet fruit, cracked seed
Some songs fade pretty
Some cuts bleed deep
[Chorus]
Real eyes realize real lies
Silver in the smile, darkness in the light
Real eyes realize real lies
Still water hide a blade in the tide
Real eyes realize real lies
Near is just a shape in the night
Real eyes realize real lies
Truth wash in slow when the moon is high
[Bridge]
No thunder, just pressure
No warning, just weather
No enemy louder than a whisper
No distance closer than betrayal
Real eyes
Read the undertow
Real eyes
Feel what never shows
Real eyes
Stay when colors fade
And hear the cut beneath the wave
I don’t chase names through the dark no more
I just watch what survives the shore
If it’s real, it breathe when the air turn thin
If it’s false, it drown in its own reflection
[Final Chorus]
Real eyes realize real lies
Moon over the water, fault in the shine
Real eyes realize real lies
Love get tested
