Empty Eyes from Every Heartache by Britchy

EMPTY EYES
words and music by Richie Reinholdt

Do you see the heart impaled on my arm?
I only wear it for a few
Leaving a stain like a badge on regret
It’s not like this wound is brand new

Turn around slam the door just walk away
I don’t wanna see you hanging ‘round
Get out of my head leave me alone
Your empty eyes cannot hide the empty heart inside

Thirsty for a smile when I saw a mirage
Shining through the smoky light
But when I tried to drink my cup was filled with dust
And your reflection vanished in the night

Safe behind the walls of my emotional redoubt
I don’t want to feel any more
But you stormed my battlements with your Pepsodent smile
Shattering my armor to the floor

With starvation thoughts I was hungry for a dream
To take me to the edge of decay
When I foundered at the taste of destruction in your smile
I knew I’d found my way
