Pretty Eyes

oh, pretty boy why are your eyes so bright?
are you gifted with special sight?

all of you with open eyes, care to see a pitiful sight?
look at they who admire eyes with light
never bothering to seek the pain they hide

do you see things that no one else might?
oh pretty boy with your beautiful eyes
please tell us of the things you have seen
show us what everything means

explain everything we can’t understand,
don’t let us down or ruin our plans
lead us to places that we never knew
pressures and responsibility we’ll leave up to you
take us to things we’ve never seen
show us places of which we’ve never been

they beg, they plead, they demand and request
demanding of me only my very best

well can’t all of you see that I’m not breathing, crumpled up on the cold floor?
doesn’t anyone want to open this heart’s boarded up and locked door?
