Lyrics
He had a black eye
He was proud of
But some of his friends
Made him feel
Somewhere outside
Of everything
And everywhere he'd been
(...)
Like his brothers
He emptied himself
And played it safe
Like their father
He wanted to remember
But he almost always
Forgot what he was gonna say
(...)
Black eye
(...)
Black eye
(...)
When he realized
That this one
Was here to stay
He took down
Alll the mirrors
In the hallway
He thought only of his younger face
(...)
Black eye
(...)
Black eye
