if you'd look into these eyes
look past the fire that keeps my demons at bay
past the smoke an mirrors
you'd see the sadness of a lonely man
if you looked deep enough you'd see
I would do anything
I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die
to have her back in these arms tonight
no amount of whiskey will drown out the sorrow
no amount of drugs will kill the pain
no amount of denial will change anything
I know cause I've tried it all
the only thing that's the same as yesterday
is I'll love her till I die
got no faith in a god who watched my heart
as it turned to stone
told the angels they could sing their songs elsewhere
In a world that takes away everything you'v ever loved
an gives you nothing but loneliness
when love is gone you're left to walk
in this wicked world alone
if you'd look into these eyes
look past the fire that keeps my demons at bay
past the smoke an mirrors
you'd see a man who'd like to believe in redemption
but it'l take a miracle to save me
an the savior just left town
they say in order for the spirits live
a man has to die
but I don't believe the death of Me would
bring the spirit of love back
if you'd look into these eyesl
look past the fire that keeps my demons at bay
past the smoke an mirrors
you'd see
if you're standing here looking for salvation
this is the wrong place to be
in this world you see
there's no absolution for our sins
