My Dark Eyes

I look in the mirror
And what do I see?
A man that’s pretty
Except for his eyes,
Dark, murky and half shut
Where his soul dies.

Black and red it’s glowing.
This evil is growing.
Red and white light is snowing
And my dark side is showing.

Turn my head before you see
What’s become of me.
Don’t wanna see my reflection
In a white tear
On the face of my dear.

A happy child
Exchanged for a sad man.
What happened to me?
I was once carefree.
Now I just wanna sleep
And bury my soul deep.

When the window’s up
I always frown.
But when the window’s down
I always smile
Because I’m not me,
I’m just a body.

So I’ll close these dark eyes
One last time;
Never again to rise.
Don’t let your soul bleed
For one that’s been freed.

I’m finally ready
For my inside to be my out.
Because I only smile
When I’m asleep.
When I’m not me.
When I’m just a body.
