Lyrics
EMPTY EYES
In the dark of my heart
Deep in the silent chambers
There's a beat that no one dances to.
I've seen love die through these eyes
Watch me standing on the edge.
Can I span this great divide?
I have just these empty eyes
No more tears to cry
They have all washed out to sea
These empty eyes.
From this edge I look below
To where my tears have fallen
Fallen down into a sea of vacant stares.
I look up for a sign
Of an angel dressed in hope
To give me wings so I can fly.
