Lagwagon - Black Eyes lyrics

He knows no shame
And takes no blame
This simpleton
Sees everything
He's only satisfied
To point out other's mistakes
Never afraid, to use his pride

His tradition is old
His faith a hand-me-down, the family
He wears them on his sleeve
Morale and value left under a Christmas tree
He once had the gift
This image in his grandparents eyes
No guns, no drugs, no rape, no end

This vacant soul, is pale and blue
In empty gaze, his crow's feet are
A vision of defeat sick
And tired of the meaninglessness
The irrationale he's desensitized
His every need and emotion
A cup half empty, but full of euphoria
He's searching for the light switch in the dark
To switch his routine, to find a reason
To find faith and piece of mind
When one too many beliefs die
It's tough to see through these black eyes

Everyone forgives
Everyone forgets
Everyone is true
And no one here will lie to you

He knows the truth [2x]
Here nothing's certain
Disregard what you've learned
To find faith and piece of mind
All of their gods died with his peace
I should know him that heathen's me
