Staring at these brown eyes
Trying not to let my thoughts sink through me
Trying not to lose myself in who I'll never be
And I'm starting to think that
These brown eyes are all I have to turn to
My life has become a mirror I can't look through

And I'm sick of everyone
Asking me what's there to fear
I'll tell you for the last time
I honestly, have no idea

I have all of these unreasoned fears
Building up strongly for sixteen years
I don't know where to turn
Don't know who to cry to
And this look in my eyes
Has never been enough for you

But when I say "you" I don't mean any one kid
I just refer to the world as a jar without a lid
If I had a mountain I would scream it to all
And then be so tempted to drop and take a golden fall

Staring at these brown eyes
Trying not to forget how to breathe right
Trying not to turn this into an internal fight

Its times like this where silence is overwhelming
Its times like this where ill futures are developing
Its times like this where all I do is stay at home
And talking about friends is only making me feel alone

I'm sick of writing every other song I write
About the same emotion
I think my days would much rather be spent
Sinking into an ocean

Don't bother feeling pity, it wont get my by
Don't believe for a second, that this is a lie
Every word becomes the barrel of a gun
In my series, this will be the final one

Don't bother to get it right
I'll be dead by daylight
Cross my heart and hope to die
Won't someone hear this silent cry?
