Words can’t describe the way that I feel When I look into your eyes I hear your silent cries Through the stillness calling out for me To pull you from the void
I want to reach into your soul Banish your demons, silence your screaming I just want to make you whole
I wish I that I could see you fly Spread your wings and soar up high But to see you is not to see you Cos something else wears your face And to be with you is not to be with you Cos something else shares your place
Words can’t describe all the things I see When I look into your eyes I see through your disguise Into your soul, staring back at me Through the windows of your cell
Trapped beneath those layers of pain Screaming for release, drowning in defeat I just want to break your chains
I wish I that I could see you fly Spread your wings and soar up high But to see you is not to see you Cos something else wears your face And to be with you is not to be with you Cos something else shares your place
Words can’t describe how much pain I keep Hidden deep behind my eyes The tears that I don’t cry You don’t see the scars I hide beneath I just want to set you free
But I know I won’t see you fly Spread your wings and soar up high Cos to see you is not to see you Since something else wears your face And to be with you is not to be with you Cos something else shares your place
Soon you’ll lose control, break your oath No matter how you fight them, can’t always hide them And when the time comes they’ll **** us both
