Black Eyes Lyrics - Hoss - Lagwagon

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 in peace 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. 

He knows the truth: Here nothing's certain, 

disregard what you've learned... 

to find faith 

in peace of mind. 

All of thier gods died with his peace. 

I should know him, 

that heathen's me.
