I was looking for a dream in soulless eyes. You thought that I was just like you And milked the light from this star You sold my brightness for profit And now I wonder how far you are I thought that you would give me my light back But you led me into a fire Lured me in with ink and a page And now I'm trapped in a burning cage I watch the stars in the night sky The ones I once knew You crush them down to ash You sell them out for cash I wanted to be just like you But that isn't my goal anymore I will be so much better Is that what you wanted, too? I inherited your soulless eyes Do you see my dream in them?

I was Looking for a Dream in Soulless Eyes
I was looking for a dream in soulless eyes. You thought that I was just like you And milked the light from this star You sold my brightness for profit And now I wonder how far you are I thought that you would give me my light back But you led me into a fire Lured me in with ink and a page And now I'm trapped in a burning cage I watch the stars in the night sky The ones I once knew You crush them down to ash You sell them out for cash I wanted to be just like you But that isn't my goal anymore I will be so much better Is that what you wanted, too? I inherited your soulless eyes Do you see my dream in them?
"you were born reaching for your mother's hands, victim of your father's plans to rule the world. Too afraid to step outside, paranoid and petrified of what you've heard." -BLUE
