I've seen those eyes before
That tell their story
As you gaze into their soul

I've had those eyes before
That cry for a break
From all the world is throwing

Yes, we've all had those eyes before
Looking for someone to save us from
Ourselves, others and the world

Yet we wait till we're old and gray
For pain can't save pain,
Darkness can't save darkness

Indeed we are all hostages of those eyes
Bound in a world with no answers
Where those trapped in the chaos of breath
Know not of the light on the other side.
