If you look into my eyes,
I wonder how much they would show you,
And how much that they would hide.
Can you see through all the lies?
Behind my name,
All the pain that I don't show on the outside.
The only thing that sees my wings is the mirror,
I hide away so no one sees their color.
I got demons stacked up on my shoulders,
And I can't tell what time may bring,
But I don't hear angels sing.
It feels like there are hands around my neck,
Can someone take the pressure off my chest?
I wish my heart would talk to me,
Like it did in the first scene.
But now it's just my thoughts and me,
Just my thoughts and me,
Just my thoughts and me.
Now stop, and look at all the things that I've done,
Listen to all the songs that I've sung,
I bet that they don't tell you that
Sometimes I run away just to be by myself,
Hide away, treat my room like a cell.
'Cause sometimes I feel like everybody
would be so much better off without me here.
The only thing that sees my wings is the mirror,
I hide away so no one sees their color.
I got demons stacked up on my shoulders,
And I can't tell what time may bring,
But I don't hear angels sing.
It feels like there are hands around my neck,
Can someone take the pressure off my chest?
I wish my heart would talk to me,
Like it did in the first scene.
But now it's just my thoughts and me,
Just my thoughts and me,
Just my thoughts and me,
Just my thoughts and me,
Just my thoughts and me.
And if I break down would you still be there?
If I break down would you still be there?
If I break down would you still be there?
(And if I break down, if I break down)
If I break down would you still be there?

Music and Lyrics by Liam Cloud. Recorded in BCN Sound, Produced, mixed and mastered by Nick Sagar-House of Res Mastering
Nothing breeds intensely personal songs more than change. A change of scenery and life itself is something that Liam is
intimately familiar with; having moved through 3 continents in under 2 decades. Part-Kiwi, Part-Filipino and Part-Spanish; Liam Cloud is anything but alien to change and nostalgia reflected in songs like "I Came from Pluto", "I Miss You" and "Two Kisses"....more
