I looked at you
and then you looked at me
and I noticed
That you my dear
well
You have the eyes of a refugee
Eyes solemnly speaking eulogies
Or not-so-kool-ogies
In desperate need of Sun
Or Fathers
Maybe mothers that bothered
To look and
See
That you
You have the eyes of a refugee
Let me
Borrow your sorrow
And hold it a while
Let's talk miles in minutes
And move mere inches in hours
Let's bake a cake
Then forget flour
**** it I'm down for just chocolate instead
While we lie in this bed
I'll whisper tales untold
Of your refugee eyes and how they're the warmest brown gold
They speak your secrets unconsciously
But in Confidence I'll hold
You up to the light!
As if you were a gem...
I'm trying to catch every facet
While we clean out this closet
Throw out all the bones
Human or chicken variety
Whichever you'll confess them to be
I'm just trying to figure out how someone like you
Inherited those eyes that look
Like that of a refugee
