Dead Eyes by T11 Lyrics
(Hook: Moth1ne)
I don’t like the way you look at me
(With those dead eyes)
They only died 'cause you don’t use them
(You don’t use them for no good)
Verse 1: T11
So I haven’t been around the world but I’ve seen a lot of things
And every time I close my eyes I have these dreams
About the place that I’m in now and where I wanna be
At I gonna just float or try and build a stronger me
It’s like astronomy, I look for the stars in the sky
And all I see to my surprise looking back is your eyes
Saying “just move on, we all have our hiccups”
Yeah that’s easy to say when your life’s full of fluff
Mines fucked
These wheels can’t take these speed bumps
And if I crash this car again I think I’m just giving up
'Cause I’m not in the mood for a glass that’s half full
Mine’s been empty since the day you drank away my soul
Truth told, I haven’t felt real in awhile
And the way I punish my body it’s hard to even crack a smile
Or find a reason to
I’m trying to find something believable
But all I see is you
Looking at me inconceivably
(Hook)
(Verse 2: Moth1ne)
Any given Sunday catch me thieving from the house of god
They say seeing is believing & I ain’t even proud at all
To say I don’t believe what I’m seeing, lost with dead eyes
Watching all the lollygaggers on the ave get live
For no reason, why get live when you forget to breathe
Lungs filling up with blood, no way to clot the bleeding hearts club
And watch every drop of varnish run
Down the no-chemis-tree (chemistry) stump that we were barking up
The only way we know how to communicate
Get the points across, before they hoist it on the cross
I enjoy these talks we have, falling on deaf ears
Dead eyes won’t shed tears, I’m sure there’s a lesson here
Don’t let your eyes deceive ya, rhyme then reason
Won’t decide who leads ya, or who fights your demons
I might 'cause I’m always coping through loss
I’m not sleeping my eyes have just been open too long
(Hook)
(Verse 3: T11)
Your dead eyes take the prize for taking my pride
I’m like, wondering why I still try and compromise
It’s, like, 4am & I ain’t even feeling tired
The way you got me on the phone screaming until I perspire
We know this isn’t healthy
Like I know this ain’t gonna help me
Like we know it’s been a while since either of us felt free
But I admire the way you keep climbing up the same tree
Like if I try enough this cherry picking might save me
Good. I hope it does, I’m on a different page
The only way that I escape is when I step up on this stage
And share these words about our wars
How life is a chore
When you choose to keep your shoes on from every fight before
Have you walked in mine? Cuz I haven’t walked in yours
I didn’t think so, no grab your bags from my porch
And just as I think that I’m about to be free I see those dead eyes in the front row staring back at me
(Hook)
I don’t like the way you look at me
(With those dead eyes)
They only died 'cause you don’t use them
(You don’t use them for no good)
