Eyes, black eyes
Eyes, black eyes,
won't you stop staring
at the abyss
as if it wasn't there.
Ears, red and bleeding brown,
won't you stop flapping
at the midnight sun
that just won't listen?
Pain, dear pain,
will you ever accept
that cease and desist
we agreed upon
many moons ago?
Life, black life,
will you stop pretending,
stop acting like me,
when I behave alive?
Eyes, black eyes,
will you stop being blue,
at the drop of a lid,
till it just isn't true?
