Winterchylde The Anger In Your Eyes Lyrics

It feels just like a second skin
A shell to keep you from coming in
It's all I need to block the shame
You put inside of me that day
Stumbling away from the rage
Crawling away from the pain
Into the sun and the eyes of a crowd
Screaming for mercy that was never allowed
Don't tell me your reasons
They're all just empty lies
Don't give me excuses
For the marks you left inside
If you could have seen me
Without the anger in your eyes
Maybe you would have seen more

Than the child you despised It looks just like a smile of mine
But my eyes have lost their light
No glimmer of hope remains within
For the man you could have been
Don't tell me your reasons
They're all just empty lies
Don't give me excuses
For the marks you left inside
If you could have seen me
Without the anger in your eyes
Maybe you would have seen more
Than the child you despised
Lashings of leather
Through a river of tears
There is no forgiveness
For the pain of those years
