Galaxy Eyes

Şarkı Sözleri

[Hook] Galaxy eyes, shining through the rain Trying to hide all the hurt and pain Everybody saw a kid they could blame Nobody knew what was burning in his brain Galaxy eyes, looking up at the sky In a world full of darkness he was trying to survive He smiled for the world but cried inside Those galaxy eyes never lost their light [Verse 1] He grew up where the sirens never slept at night Gunshots in the distance, people dying out of sight Broken little house, full of anger and fights He learned to read the room before he learned to write Mama worked doubles, came home with tired hands Dad disappeared like smoke from a backstreet lamp He kept his little sister safe when the shouting began Put a blanket by the door and said, “I’ve got a plan” At school they called him trouble, never asked him why He carried every warning in the corner of his eye Drew planets in his notebook while the teachers passed him by A whole universe was waiting underneath that quiet smile [Hook] Galaxy eyes, shining through the rain Trying to hide all the hurt and pain Everybody saw a kid they could blame Nobody knew what was burning in his brain Galaxy eyes, looking up at the sky In a world full of darkness he was trying to survive He smiled for the world but cried inside Those galaxy eyes never lost their light [Verse 2] He got older, learned the corners, learned the names Learned how silence can be louder than a loaded frame Friends vanished one by one, some swallowed by the game He promised he would leave before they knew his face Saved a little money in a coffee tin Bought a bus ticket out with a trembling grin His sister held his jacket, said, “Don’t forget where you’ve been” He said, “I’m taking you with me when I finally win” Now he works late shifts beneath fluorescent white Still wakes up at a siren, still checks every lock twice But he calls her every Sunday, tells her, “We’ll be alright” And the kid inside his chest is learning how to sleep at night [Bridge] If you see him, don’t decide by the clothes he wears Ask him what he carried when nobody cared Some hearts build constellations out of broken parts Some survivors keep their brightest worlds inside their scars [Final Hook] Galaxy eyes, shining through the rain He turned every wound into a windowpane Everybody saw a kid they could blame Now they see the fire that survived the flame Galaxy eyes, looking up at the sky He found a little mercy and he kept it alive He smiled for the world, no longer cried inside Those galaxy eyes were born to light the night [Outro] Galaxy eyes Still looking up Galaxy eyes Still here
