Look Into These Eyes

Look into these eyes

you find yourself alive

I never obsess the false

the truth that burn in these eyes

 

Be my witness, O’ ye truth

I’ll tell thee a tale truthfully

am a living grave, am a triumph

who wandered aimlessly for the death

 

Life a tragedy, a myth, a magic

comically displaying our truth

the nakedness of our deeds

and lefting a hope so gloomy and tragic.

 

These eyes overlapping a thousand worries

Each of them openly describing hidden disease.
