Dead behind the eyes [remix ceeder]

[intro]
Ooh-mmm….
Mmm-ooh….
Stayed up all night 
Trying to convince myself I’m alright 
Ooh-mmm….
Mmm-ooh….

[verse 1]

Need a new start
Away from the noise, away from the bark
Slowly killing me, piece by piece — tearing me up like sharks
Just want peace, making my own kind of art
Not here tryna play it smart
Just enjoying what I own 
These words are mine no one else’s 
Covering this line in hurt making it known 
Sharing my hurt 
Right now, I’m feeling like Kurt 
Wanting to leave my brain on my shirt 


[Pre-Chorus]

Shadows on the wall keep dancing slow…
Playing scenes I wish I didn't know…

[Chorus]

I'm breaking in the silence, screaming in disguise
Smiling on the surface, dead behind the eyes
Tried to run from echoes, but they always find
Every piece of me I left behind
Hold me now or let me go
I’m too far gone, just thought you should know

[verse 2]

Look me dead in the eyes,
I have dead behind my eyes,
I’m so tired of people’s lies,
Happiness is just depression, in disguise 
Not every person is born wise…
Not every person is so easily despised…
I wonder why…
(why?)
Why is every person born just to die…?
(What the hell?)
I’m sorry -nah I’m not…
(no don’t)
Looks like you just hit the jackpot…
Dam this vibe is so hot… 
Take it all in – it’s a lot..
(Ceeder)


[Chorus]

I'm breaking in the silence, screaming in disguise
Smiling on the surface, dead behind the eyes
Tried to run from echoes, but they always find
Every piece of me I left behind
Hold me now or let me go
I’m too far gone, just thought you should know

[Outro]

Ooh-mmm…
Mmm-ooh…
I spoke my truth, now let it fade
Nothing left that I can save
Ooh-mmm…
Mmm-ooh…
