Translucent Eyes
The only language that spills from your mouth: criticism, the words you speak that surround my head. Scratching at my brain like monsters, always trying to knock down the door.
Double-crossing yourself, second meaning behind every sentence that leaves your lips. They bring me down at the same time as they bring you up, never the same.
I've tried so many times to see the truth in your words. And it's worked every time. Your translucent eyes show you only the bad, and never the good. A black and white world is never good for the soul.
Don't I wish I could break you down, tear down your walls. But no matter how I try, you always manage to rebuild before me, and use your time wisely. But never too kindly.
Sometimes the door stands up against your will, but through the keyhole is another situation entirely. Each crack in the paint tells another sob story for me, and not you.

Scream all you want, I pretend it won't get to me. Scream all you want, 'cause no one else cares. I hear you out, but I can't show you the light, it's dimmer from all of your stares.
