In your brown eyes...
It is in your brown eyes where i see hope
The homely location where i find the edge to cope
It is when they are red from the roach you toss , that i know you are scared
Scared of feeling what is felt by an odinary being
And to avoid that shit you keep on rolling
With the thought of trying to make sense out of everything
you label your own feelings as sensations
You bottle up your emotions and troubles all the way up inside
Because youre afraid that once you let them all out you'll feel the emptiness from the inside
It is in your brown eyes where i see Affection
The homely location where i find motivation to follow my passion
It is when they are closed that i know
you are dreaming of what you'll wake up in the morning not remembering
It is when they are open that i know you're not sad but glad i'm the first person you see on the other side of the bed
In your brown eyes there are no lies
In your brown eyes...
