Justified Black Eye

No Use for a Name

She was confused and abused in this life

Emotional and violent moments

Tthat seemed to take the longest time

Every single knockout, dragout, fight they ever had

Apologies and dignity denied

He starts to laugh

He starts to lie

With suddenly psychotic eyes.



Every night she cried herself to sleep she didn't recognize

Her own face in the mirror, black and blue,

So afraid, intimidated like a child, she hides away

He would always try to justify what wasn't true.



Justified black eye



Taken for granted she sleeps by the phone Waiting for a call from him

But it seems he's never coming home

14 beers later he is there without an answer

Once again she questions his lies

He goes to bed with no reply



Tomorrow morning different story

And he'll be a different guy

He'll justify her black eye with another lie.

She packs her bags in great temptation

He's on his knees, again he cries

A hug amd a kiss and a don't know why

As a tear drops from her swollen eye

Apologies until tonight and another

'Justified' black eye
