Behind My Weary Eyes

Verse 1

Clipped wings, a bird that cannot fly,

Loveless prison, beneath a grey sky.

Whispers and moaning, a constant sting,

Every word another wound they bring.

Verse 2

A silent scream no one can hear,

A fading smile carved out of fear.

Rainbow bruises hidden from sight,

Fighting my battles alone at night.

Chorus

Lost and alone, adrift at sea,

Sadness and fear, my company.

Rainbow bruises, scars in disguise,

A storm is raging behind my eyes.

I wear the mask, but deep within,

The tempest rises—where do I begin?

Verse 3

I master the art of playing the part,

A picture of calm with a shattered heart.

Walls I’ve built are about to fall,

No one sees the truth at all.

Bridge

Will anyone hear the pain I conceal?

Will anyone touch the wounds that won’t heal?

This heavy burden, I carry alone,

A heart of sorrow turned to stone.

Final Chorus

Lost and alone, adrift at sea,

Sadness and fear, my company.

Rainbow bruises, scars in disguise,

A storm is raging behind my eyes.

I wear the mask, but deep within,

The tempest rises—where do I begin?

Outro

Clipped wings, a bird that longs to soar,

But I’m lost in the storm, forevermore.
