Lyrics
Dead Behind The Eyes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Surrounding me is a picture of a world gone wrong
Paved with sickness and the broken young
Count the saved, count the graves
Count the cuts and taste the blood of the rain
They are worthless unforgiving
The murdered amongst the living
So why spend your time
Waiting and wishing and praying for a better living
When you're force-fed their decisions
You'll all just get bitten again
I can't piece together the problems
I'm telling you to think for yourself
I can't put peace in the violence
I'm not going to fight it
I can feel the breath on the back of my neck
I'm spitting blood to get your voice out of my head
I'm feeding on the pain of the sick
The needle and the hospital bed
We are nothing like these creatures
Guilty, scarred, I can't forget
You starve pride to feed your selfishness
We are nothing like these creatures
Guilty, scarred, I can't forget
You still feed the hunger leading you to your death
You'll give it up when you've got no time left
You're breeding in a national debt
You starve pride to feed your selfishness
Surrounding me is a picture of a world gone wrong
Paved with sickness and the broken young
Count the saved, count the graves
Count the cuts and taste the blood in the rain
Have we given up? Should we hang our bastard young?
To save them from the nothing that so many have become
We're all dead behind the eyes
we're just dreaming of a better life
We're all dead behind the eyes
we're just dreaming of a better life
We are nothing like these creatures
Guilty, scarred, I can't forget
You starve pride to feed your selfishness
We are nothing like those creatures
Guilty, scarred, I can't forget
I let the bastards surround me
