Crocodile eyes
Close your eyes and don't let the sunlight in
It might make you think more clearly
And change your disguise
You dragged us down into darkness
Into your swirling world
With just enough air to breathe
So we could survive
My life flashes by in a memory
My thoughts are frozen in time
Still you say I'm too young to remember
Your crocodile eyes
I'm drowning in this river of tears
There's no hope but I'll still hold on
I'll sink or surrender
Now that you've closed that door
We'll never know for sure
If it's your cold-blooded silence or fear we despise
Why does this darkness surround you?
Where is the light that you hide?
It's only the truth that can save you
Never the lies
Still my life flashes by right in front of me
And my thoughts are frozen in time
Still I hear you say I'm too young to remember
Your crocodile eyes
I'm drowning in this river of tears
There's no hope but I'll still hold on
I'll sink or surrender
Crocodile lies
I still won't swim, but I'm treading water
As I think of the choices you gave
Sink or surrender
Close your eyes and don't let the sunlight in
It might make you think more clearly
And change your disguise
You dragged us down into darkness
Into your swirling world
You fed us on half the truth to keep us alive
