[Lyrics Below] [Intro/Hook] If you could see behind my eyes Would you run or would you stay? Would you see the things I've hidden Or the battles that I face? Every wound I tried to hide Every demon deep inside I'm afraid that if you knew You'd never see me in the same light [Hook] If you could see behind my eyes Would you run or would you stay? Would you see the things I've hidden Or the battles that I face? Every wound I tried to hide Every demon deep inside I'm afraid that if you knew You'd never see me in the same light [Verse 1] I keep a lock on every thought that tries to break outside Built a wall around my soul and let the darkness hide Smile whenever people look, pretend that I'm alright But there's a storm behind the mask that rages every night Every scar became a chapter that I never wanna read Every road I took for peace somehow just made me bleed Hear my conscience in the shadows whisper in my ear Like everything I hate the most is standing in the mirror I've been running from myself so long I lost the trail Dragging chains of guilt behind me with every step I take People only see the version that I let them perceive Not the shattered pieces buried underneath my sleeves [Hook] If you could see behind my eyes Would you run or would you stay? Would you see the things I've hidden Or the battles that I face? Every wound I tried to hide Every demon deep inside I'm afraid that if you knew You'd never see me in the same light [Verse 2] I've got ghosts in every hallway of the place I call my mind Some are memories I buried, some I left alive inside They keep knocking at the door whenever silence fills the room Like they're waiting for the perfect chance to drag me to my doom Every promise that I made to myself got bent and broke Turned into another lesson disappearing in the smoke And I know I'm not a monster, but I don't feel like a saint Living in the gray between the love and all the hate So I keep my distance from the ones that try to care Cause getting close means seeing things I've never learned to share Maybe I'm just terrified of being understood Cause then I'd have to face the fact that maybe I still could [Hook] If you could see behind my eyes Would you run or would you stay? Would you see the things I've hidden Or the battles that I face? Every wound I tried to hide Every demon deep inside I'm afraid that if you knew You'd never see me in the same light [Verse 3] I'm sick of carrying burdens that nobody else can feel Every scar I tried to bury somehow never seemed to heal Got my back against the ropes, got my fists clenched tight again Trying not to let the chaos underneath my skin win I've been choking on the pressure, suffocating on regret Living with a thousand memories that I wish I could forget Now the anger's got a heartbeat and it's pounding in my chest Like a storm that's been building up and finally won't rest I'm tired of second-guessing every step I've ever made Tired of watching parts of me slowly start to fade So if the truth is ugly, then let it show its face I'd rather fight what's hunting me than let it take my place I've survived every nightmare that tried to drag me down Every voice that said I'd break, every hand that tried to drown Now I'm standing in the wreckage of the man I used to be And the thing I've feared the most is finally staring back at me [Hook] If you could see behind my eyes Would you run or would you stay? Would you see the things I've hidden Or the battles that I face? Every wound I tried to hide Every demon deep inside I'm afraid that if you knew You'd never see me in the same light [Bridge] Maybe all these walls I built Were never keeping danger out Maybe they were only there To keep me trapped inside my doubt Maybe every wound I've carried Doesn't have to define me now Maybe facing what I am Is the only way to turn around [Final Hook] If you could see behind my eyes Would you run or would you stay? Would you see the things I've hidden Or the battles that I face? Every wound I tried to hide Every demon deep inside I'm done living scared of truths That I've spent my whole life trying to deny No more hiding, no more masks No more running from myself Cause the only way to heal Is to finally face myself [Outro] Behind my eyes, behind the pain Behind the storms and pouring rain I've spent my life afraid to show The parts of me nobody knows But every scar and every fight Helped me survive another night And now I'm done with running blind From what's been living in my mind Not somebody new or fake Not somebody I pretend Just the person underneath That I've been afraid to let in If you could see behind my eyes Would you run or would you stay About The Music: Mixing/Producing - Sykotic3/Ai Song Idea - Sykotic3 Lyrics - Sykotic3/Ai Vocals - Sykotic3/Ai
