Dead Behind the Eyes

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

[verse 1]

Need help before I might…
No brighter day no hope in sight 
In the dark no sign of light 
Alone here guess it’s night 
Memories gone yeah that right
Down on the ground I can’t fight 
(I can’t fight)

[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]

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 
[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…
