The perfect situation fell in our lap
Far too perfect to not react
The compelling growth found anew
The unfamiliar landscapes escape the truth
Consistent red flags overlooked
The promise of perfection leaving us hooked
The facade of lies fades away
Uncovering the truthful gaze

Tales of times long past
Strong feelings that this would last
Great opportunities within our grasp
Trust withered away so fast
Spontaneous combustion no one could predict
Uncaring of the damage it could inflict
Attempt to get it under control
Or leave right now, no one would know

Look into my eyes
Look into my eyes

The fog sets in, intentions clouded
Words and phrases, meanings doubted
Deceit and deception discovered through others
Strange falsehoods, one after another

Shock, gasp and shutter
Fooled like no other
Faith thrown out the door
Not sure what for

Bullet dodged
No blood spilled
No tides pulling us under
Nothing to rebuild

Tales of times long past
Strong feelings that this would last
Great opportunities within our grasp
Trust withered away so fast
Cold spot left by an empty hole
Actions attacking unbreakable souls
Fallen angel cast back to the fire
Had no effect on what we desire

Look into my eyes
Look into my eyes
