Look into a stranger's eyes

There you are
Standing on a stack of your thoughts
Alone once more staring at a lifeless body
Wondering aloud
Am I so blind, not to see it coming
Answered inside by the simple
Dropping of your head

Look into a stranger's eyes
Fall into his trap
Curious and intrigued
Led down his wicked path of deception

Living a lie the hole keeps getting deeper
See the shapeless form
Where a man once threatened to grow
See the shell of love where eternity
Surely could have blossomed
In a pile of past lessons, never to be learned

Look into a stranger's eyes
Fall into his trap
Curious and intrigued
Led down his wicked path of deception

Temptations claws make a powerful man weak
A coward reasons
Name another who would be so strong
You mistake a tomb for a castle
The dead weight of sand for gold
And a smile for a moment
A fleeting moment can erase your greatest fear
