Behind Vacant Eyes Lyrics

A decrepit man intently stares,
At the now calm lifeless horizon,
While most of his memories no longer exist,
There is one never fading,

I was alive with youthful integrity,
A cold December night,
Accosted my senses whisper of the wind,
Shaped my reality,
Took by surprise decayed pretenses,
I deciphered the meaning,
To my advantage delivered false promises,
Baited the trap,
Deceptively clever I engaged the victim,
Gained pure conviction,
With deceitful lies I taught myself,
To be abhorrent,
Took admiration of helpless thoughts,
Sufferance was comfort,
Like blankets in winter a cold heart ridden,
Misfortune always evident always there,

Each day a new veil hiding the past,
Compassion had vanished,
Leaving no trace my newfound guile,
Is my future,
There is no shame when harm is blind,
Contemplate the unknown,
Whose eternal reset would always stir,
A mind at ease,
If only he knew his only victim,
Was in the mirror,
They say self-reflection is good for the soul,
And cleanses the blood,
But if your heart is oblivious to your grasp of life,
Then the gray shadows down at your feet,
Fade into black and vanish,

Desolation unaware,
As you look at yourself endure the pain,
See the fear deep in your eyes,
As you hind behind a blank disguise,

A decrepit man intently stares,
At the calm lifeless horizon,
While most of his memories no longer exist,
There is one never fading,
You look in disbelief as you see your own life,
With his tragedy,
Hopeless destiny in your mind,
You cannot fight what you soon will see,

Your eyes shed the tears of blood,
You can't ever hide,
When you see the visions behind vacant eyes.
