Her eyes were outstanding
**** brown and full of wonder
The rainbow a little brighter
The hopes a little higher
My eyes are green
For i envy her eyes
They see what i cannot
Foxes in broad daylight
Naked eskimos and free money
**** brown eyes are all i want
Holding out my own
Maybe i should ask her out
If only i had the stones

Id give it all
To close my eyes
And realize
What hides behind
Inside my mind
I'm terrified
To close my eyes
And lay behind
The sleep for which i was designed
My restless hours unproductive
And yet i cannot destroy the darkness i seek
I cannot destroy that which i hate
For in the moment i look up and realize
That which i hate i do
And that which i do i hate
I wont be late
I must be great
To fail that quest would fail my fate
And so my eyes lay wide open
Never shutting
Always hoping
Restless eyes which carry sorrow
Carry hope that has been boorowed
But most of all they carry longing
They long to sleep
Their ceaseless longing
But they stay open
Never shut
And long forever
Never enough

They say your colors shine so bright
And yet my darkness might
Overshadow you and bring you down
Should i even look inside
And see the darkness centralized
Shining deeply through my eyes
Oh i hope with all my skin
To keep all of my darkness in
And let your colors shine so bright
In every hope that you just might
Leap over the moon
Find the stars
For if you become all you are
Then i have played my part
By staying true to who i am
And not ruining your every plan
For my darkness shines a little too bright
And should it darken your sight
It would take your bright away
And i would be left guilty
