Eyes
(a blues song)
Dyes of ruin live in your eyes
The pain of beauty transfixes my lies
Believe in me sweetheart, I am true
No longer will I leave you so blue
Your eyes are pits of weeping blackness
Waiting to be filled into pools of happiness
Believe in me sweetheart, I am true
No longer will I leave you so blue
Haven't I acted the fool, I can taste the pain
But now join together, let's rid this acid rain
Believe in me sweetheart, I am true
No longer will I leave you so blue
Life Is What You Make It
Days end and others begin
Inside you want to sin
Never remember why you exist
Look at others and persist
Chores of life can't be broken
Facing up is your pain token
Reality sucks that's the way it is
Conform or lose, the system shits
Chorus: Life is what you make it
Reach out and take it
Storms form under the skin
Earth eyes are trapped by sin
Work and play must resist
The reason for why you persist
Soon you have to give up drinking
Reality sucks that's the way it is
Conform or lose, the system shits
Chorus: Life is what you make it
Reach out and take it
