Parker's Eyes Lyrics - Redemption

Look at you 

You haven't seen anything 

Your eyes so white and pure 

Without a trace of red 

No signs of self-abuse there 

And no tears have yet been shed 

Just pure 

Pure white eyes 

Look at you 

You don't know anything 

Not what the towers looked like 

On September tenth 

And words like hate and death and politics 

Mean nothing yet 

They're sounds 

They're only sounds 

Once, long ago I was young 

And I saw the world through innocent eyes 

Like a child 

But those memories are faded now 

And all that I can see is our despair 

Look at you 

You don't fear anything 

Not loss of job, or loss of faith 

Or loss of self, you're not afraid 

You're not afraid of anything 

Not even death itself 

Look at you 

You haven't learned anything 

Not all that people do 

In every single way 

To hurt each other, harm each other, kill each other every day 

But you will 

And nothing I can say or do will stop you 

Once, long ago 

We were young 

And we saw the world through innocent eyes 

Like a child 

But those memories are faded now 

And all that we can see is our despair 

And now I finally understand 

Why we're told to suffer the little children 

They're what we were before we fell 

Sweet unruined innococence
