Scared Eyes
from Instincts by Antiskeptic
lyrics
THEY SAY HE WAS A CHILD IN A MAN’S BODY
ONLY JUST AND BARELY IN CONTROL
LIVING OUT HIS CHILDHOOD
WHERE THE LOUDEST VOICE WOULD TAKE THE THRONE
HE HAD THE RAGE AND THE FEAR AND THE THREAT ABOUT HIM
AND A BODY WHERE THE DRINK BEGAN TO SHOW
THERE WAS FIRE IN HIS EYES
AS HIS FISTS REIGNED DOWN THE EMBERS GLOWED
YOU DON’T WANT TO BE I
I DON’T WANT TO SEE YOU
YOU DON’T WANT TO BE I, I
SO GIVE ME THE COLD AIR
GIVE ME THE STREET LIGHTS
GIVE ME THE BRUISE ON THE SIDE OF YOUR LEG
GIVE ME THE GREY COLD
GIVE ME YOUR SCARED EYES
GIVE ME YOUR HOPE WHEN YOU THINK YOU FORGET
AND YOU ONCE WERE MAD IN LOVE
I CAN SEE IT ON YOUR FACE
SO GIVE ME THE COLD RUSH
GIVE ME THE SHUTDOWN
GIVE ME YOUR HOPE WHEN YOU THINK YOU’LL FORGET
HAD ANOTHER FLAIR UP
LEFT YOU GASPING FOR LIFE
SAID THAT HE WOULD CHANGE HIS WAYS
BUT THE TRUTH SLIPPED OUT THROUGH SERPENT EYES
YOU WILL FIND A WAY
WORDS WASH AWAY
SCARES THEY WILL FADE AS YOU HOLD ME
AS YOU LAYER ON YOUR MAKEUP
ALL OF THE LIES THAT HE MADE UP
ONLY JUST AND BARELY IN CONTROL
LIVING OUT HIS CHILDHOOD
WHERE THE LOUDEST VOICE WOULD TAKE THE THRONE
HE HAD THE RAGE AND THE FEAR AND THE THREAT ABOUT HIM
AND A BODY WHERE THE DRINK BEGAN TO SHOW
THERE WAS FIRE IN HIS EYES
AS HIS FISTS REIGNED DOWN THE EMBERS GLOWED
YOU DON’T WANT TO BE I
I DON’T WANT TO SEE YOU
YOU DON’T WANT TO BE I, I
SO GIVE ME THE COLD AIR
GIVE ME THE STREET LIGHTS
GIVE ME THE BRUISE ON THE SIDE OF YOUR LEG
GIVE ME THE GREY COLD
GIVE ME YOUR SCARED EYES
GIVE ME YOUR HOPE WHEN YOU THINK YOU FORGET
AND YOU ONCE WERE MAD IN LOVE
I CAN SEE IT ON YOUR FACE
SO GIVE ME THE COLD RUSH
GIVE ME THE SHUTDOWN
GIVE ME YOUR HOPE WHEN YOU THINK YOU’LL FORGET
HAD ANOTHER FLAIR UP
LEFT YOU GASPING FOR LIFE
SAID THAT HE WOULD CHANGE HIS WAYS
BUT THE TRUTH SLIPPED OUT THROUGH SERPENT EYES
YOU WILL FIND A WAY
WORDS WASH AWAY
SCARES THEY WILL FADE AS YOU HOLD ME
AS YOU LAYER ON YOUR MAKEUP
ALL OF THE LIES THAT HE MADE UP
