Behind Black Eyes

The road was long
But it never broke me
The air was soft
And washed the fever from my skin

Until I reached
The first light of my life
And every buried door
Began to open from within

Then I saw beauty
Burning everywhere
A thousand hidden fires
Alive beneath the air

Behind black eyes
There is a light you forgot to see
Behind black eyes
The final door is underneath

So close to you
So far from what you know
Behind black eyes
The way back home still glows

I was given a mission
Not to speak the secret name
Only to reveal the path
To those who walk through shame

To the ones who suffer
Begging to be forgiven
To the ones who wake each day
But never feel they're living

To those born inside illusion
To those dying without reason
I cannot give the answer
I can only point the vision

Behind black eyes
There is a light you forgot to see
Behind black eyes
The final door is underneath

So close to you
So far from what you know
Behind black eyes
The way back home still glows

I cannot break the seal
I cannot name the flame
But I can show the place
Where nothing was in vain

That light at the end
Is not beyond the sky
It waits inside the dark
Behind your own black eyes

Look deeper
Go further
No savior
No border

No heaven
To borrow
The answer
Cuts inward

Behind black eyes
There is a light you forgot to see
Behind black eyes
The final door is underneath

So close to you
So far from what you know
Behind black eyes
The way back home still glows

Do not stop searching
Do not turn away

Behind black eyes
You will see

Behind black eyes
You will see
