I Know Those Eyes; This Man Is Dead

My God, my heart beats faster
And my mind is racing
Could it be…?
Could it be that you've come back to life?

I know those eyes following me
Dark and familiar and deep as the sea
I know that face, strange though it seems
Younger and kinder it haunts all my dreams.

How can you stand there?
A whisper from me
Yet, somehow be so far away
In eyes once familiar how stranger I seem
With so many words left to say.

This man is dead
He is no more
He died a little each day
Like a thief, the Chateau D'If has stolen him away.

The mind plays tricks
You are confused
The man you seek is long gone
Dead and cold
A story told.

By those he trusted, those he loved
And those who then moved on.

I am a ghost; just a mirage
Who chases traces of you.

There in that voice
Traces of you
Dark and familiar and deep as the sea.

This man is dead
He is no more
And though it's torturing me.

I know those eyes
Torturing me.

Can either of us really ever be free?
How can you stand there?
A whisper from me
When you are still so far away
And why does the truth seem too hard to be true?
With so much broken
And so much damage
There are no words
Left to say.
