Melody of the Macula
Her pain, her tears, you can see her eyes streamin’
Fighting her demons, all by herself in God damn isolation
giving herself cuts and abrasions just tryna deal with the pain
Too familiar with her veins, views far from vain; herself she decries
but you’d never know that from the look in her eye
His future is big, it’s bright, you can see his eyes beamin’
Smart kid dreamin’ bout the day he can say he made it
The corner made him trade it; from tryna to be good to tryna to be hard
from a shootin’ star to shootin’ up and shootin’ in drive bys
but you’d never know from the look in his eye
She’s lost, she’s empty, you can see her eyes drippin’
Picturing them kissin’, she turns away ’cause she can’t handle it
He was vandalish, broke in and destroyed her from the inside
Side by side like Bonnie and Clyde til he started actin’ sly
but you’d never know it from the look in her eye
He’s weak, he’s defeated, you can see his eyes screamin’
Table teamin’ with empty bottles and heart teamin’ with empty promises
He has trouble being honest, and trouble staying sober
Bottles of whiskey take over, downs another just waitin’ to die
but you’d never know that from the look in his eye
Eyes are more than what meets the eye,
they speak but are set on standby to lie
’cause people scared to show their sensitive side
people scared to say how they really feel inside
’cause you’d never know that from just the look in their eye
