Eyes open

Eyes open to a world

needing my attention

Absorbed in self, dissolving in you

We'll do what we want to do.

Think I’m not noticing your pace

Your gaze in this non-race

Steady our movement; stop my heart.

I’m feigning for what could never start.

The bodies still and sleeping,

Dreaming wishful thinking.

We are all victims of a crime

Subjects for fear and pain

On those roads we walk alone

we all shelter someones storm.

A sign, something beautiful,

A reason screaming truth.

If you're looking for some proof

lost within our youth

held faith in the forces pull

when love never breathes its fire

it can't be quenched with lone desire.
