Stone Eyes

you look but do not see
you do not see what is inside of me
so cold so dark so unfeeling
what would you find if I removed the peeling

an animal of pure disdain
growing darker from the falling rain
an arrow pierced thru my heart
how can I explain just where do I start

everywhere I look I see tears
souls who are hurting hiding their fears
their clouded future and sad doubt
no understanding of what it's all about

so I turn my heart to stone
knowing I will wind up left all alone
and my eyes they refuse to look
they turned to stone too stolen by the crook

love divine never stopping by
in this world of mine and now I cry
never to stroll in the court of the king
strumming my mandolin and now I sing

where should I go to slowly die
no need for you to wonder why
wearing my dark veiled disguise
trying to hide my cold stone eyes
