Finally out of my head, but now I'm lost in your eyes.
So bright and probing, I know, because they can see through my disguise.
My facade has never been a barrier to you. And your the only one I trust enough to let see through.
So here I am, the real me, powerful and loud. Is it what you expected to see, and does it set me apart from the crowd?
Or is it startling and weird, like a bat outta hell?

Would you finally understand the feelings I've hidden away?
But I missed my chance, our time is done.
But if I had bet my heart on you angel, tell me, would I have won?

Beyond
I've never seen his face before
But I know the soul inside
I've never touched his hand my life
But his thoughts
