Behind Black Eyes lyrics

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
