These Absent Eyes

Bloodstained velvet, mercury traced

I saw the shadow of death on your face

Your gaze wandered off into the stars

I realized how fragile we are

There was a time when the world was ours

But when you're blessed

You're not counting the hours

I should've known that the end was near

But I was busy ignoring my fears

In search for something

Brighter than the sun

All the things I've earned will be no more

I'm passive aggressive, prepared to attack

I've seen the world but run a constant lack

These absent eyes will be disguised

As soon as we'll be strong enough to decide

Black like silver, baptized by rain

You were a stranger 'til I shared your pain

This love won't been touched by the light

Still it came alive when innocence died

You sensed my yearning, I felt your desire

You made me a saint and I made you a liar

I gave you my weakness,

You gave me your strength

The guild of my longing is all that remains

In search for something

Brighter than the sun

All the things I've earned will be no more

I'm passive aggressive, prepared to attack

I've seen the world but run a constant lack

These absent eyes will be disguised

As soon as we'll be strong enough to decide

Bloodstained velvet, mercury traced

Black like silver, baptized by rain

These absent eyes will be disguised

As soon as we'll be strong enough to decide
