Behind These Vacant Eyes (song)

[Verse one]
Living life day by day
Seeing the slow changes
All the people, everything
The world is swiftly turning
As time passes slowly
Here I am, in the center
A witness to it all

[Chorus]
Behind these vacant eyes
I am hiding what’s within
Looking in the inside
You cannot see the picture
It’s too dark to see
The raging… commotion
It’s all destruction
All burning, slowly breaking
And yet, I’m still standing

[Verse 2]
All this sadness has become
A ruling emotion to us all
We’re fighting a lifelong battle
Over nothing in particular
And we’re losing to ourselves

[Verse 3]
Restricted by our fear
No one stands for what they believe in
Those who do are soon shot down
Scarring marks on our nation
Others’ failures made our own

[chorus]
Behind these vacant eyes
I am hiding what’s within
Looking in the inside
You cannot see the picture
It’s too dark to see
The raging… commotion
It’s all destruction
All burning, slowly breaking
And yet, I’m still standing

[Bridge]
Soon in time we’ll all fall down
One by one… waiting patiently
For the time to come
The only thing that will remain
Are the vacant eyes
That we hide behind

[Chorus]
Behind these vacant eyes
I am hiding what’s within
Looking in the inside
You cannot see the picture
It's too dark to see
The pain… depressing
It’s all destruction
All ashed away, already broken
And I lay fallen
With everyone else…
