These Eyes (have Seen) Lyrics

These Eyes (have Seen) lyrics

So many things these eyes have seen
People I've met and places I've
been
Inconceivable how one maintains
In the game with the pain and the
strain on the brain
How reality's plane can wear you down
And make you an
insane man who only frowns
City hardened and cold just like me
Anger has
numbed my eyes from all they see
From all they see

Like a
workingman's skin as it turns to leather
The mind of the youth is forced to
weather
An assault on his senses by his parents and peers
That preys on
innocence, weakness and fears
Manifestation of rage runs deep
Over the
edge of sanity, thoughts creep
Violent reaction, bitter and mean
A
product of what these eyes have seen

These eyes have seen inhuman
sights
I hold my breath with all my might
Like anyone else in our own
hells
It seems obscene, the things I've seen
I hold my breath with all my
might
These eyes have seen inhuman sights

Lost count of how many wakes
were attended
Mind and body never quite mended
Do you think this is what
life intended?
At fourteen your life has ended
Maybe your spirit is
battered and broken
From shit you've seen and words that were
spoken
Death, violence, drugs all around
These eyes have seen some shit
go down

These eyes have seen inhuman sights
I hold my breath with all
my might
Like anyone else in our own hells
It seems obscene, the things
I've seen
