Look at their eyes, still alive.
Look at their eyes, feel their life
What have you been through?
What sharp claws you have. and all those bruises, you were built to last
Are your lips sewed shut? Or do you say too much?
Do they believe you? Can you afford to?
This cycle of being is too much for me
You mean to tell me, I can actually do something?
What haven’t you been through?
And there’s more to crash
And there’s no way to prepare you with a mind that's built to last
Like trying to seduce someone in a silent film
The most meaningful words fall short on deaf ears
But look at their eyes still alive, look at their eyes feel their life
