When I look into your eyes
Then I see what you've become
You're becoming nothing
Endless thoughts bring, Self destruction
You defeated. Why did you have to run?
Now it's over
Now you've proven
That they had you all along
Will you burn the bridge beside you
Will you break the light that guides you through the dark
Will you do what your supposed to
Or pursue the dreams that haunt you everyday
And when I look into your eyes
Then I see how much you've lost
You've lost it all
You will always, Have to wonder
What you gave up. What made you have to run?
Now it's over
Now you've proven
That they had you all along
Will you burn the bridge beside you
Will you break the light that guides you through the dark
Will you do what your supposed to
Or pursue the dreams that haunt you everyday
Cry don't cry
For me
You bowed around heavens that all sheltered down
You talked amongst strangers wearing the crown
The sound will then carry through thick and through thin
The shots will be echoed within
You get one chance to live your life
Shots will be echoed within
You get one chance to live your life
Shots will be echoed within
Within your heart within your soul
Within your dreams till you grow old
Within your heart breaking the seam
Torture yourself haunting your dreams
Everyday.
