Black Eyes

Lagwagon

He knows no shame, and takes no blame

This simpleton, sees everything

He's only satisfied,

To point out other's mistakes

Never afraid, to use his pride

His tradition is old,

His faith a hand-me-down, the family

He wears them on his sleeve,

Morale and values left under a christmas tree

He once had the gift,

This image in his grandparents eyes

No guns, no drugs, no rape, no end

This vacant soul, is pale and blue,

In empty gaze, his crow's feet are

A vision of defeat sick

And tired of the meaninglessness

The irrationale he's desensitized,

His every need and emotion

A cup half empty,

But full of euphoria he's,

Searching for the light switch in the dark,

To switch his routine

To find a reason,

To find faith in piece of mind

When one to many beliefs die,

It's tough to see through these black eyes

Everyone forgives everyone forgets

Everyone is true

And no one here will lie to you

He knows the truth,

He knows the truth,

Here nothing's certain

Disregard what you've learned,

To find faith in piece of mind

All of their gods died with his peace,

I should know him that heathen?s me
