These Eyes (have Seen)

Biohazard

So many things these eyes have seen

People I've met and places I've been

Inconceivable how one maintains

In the game with the pain and the strain on the brain

How reality's plane can wear you down

And make you an insane man who only frowns

City hardened and cold just like me

Anger has numbed my eyes from all they see

From all they see



Like a workingman's skin as it turns to leather

The mind of the youth is forced to weather

An assault on his senses by his parents and peers

That preys on innocence, weakness and fears

Manifestation of rage runs deep

Over the edge of sanity, thoughts creep

Violent reaction, bitter and mean

A product of what these eyes have seen



These eyes have seen inhuman sights

I hold my breath with all my might

Like anyone else in our own hells

It seems obscene, the things I've seen

I hold my breath with all my might

These eyes have seen inhuman sights



Lost count of how many wakes were attended

Mind and body never quite mended

Do you think this is what life intended?

At fourteen your life has ended

Maybe your spirit is battered and broken

From shit you've seen and words that were spoken

Death, violence, drugs all around

These eyes have seen some shit go down



These eyes have seen inhuman sights

I hold my breath with all my might

Like anyone else in our own hells

It seems obscene, the things I've seen
