They say the eyes
Are the windows to the soul
Well who boarded up windows?
We living blind as bats
Carried wherever the wind blows
Some say they seen it all
I say imagine that tenfold
Have you ever seen shanties and shacks
Plastic bottles for shoes
Fallen bodies in Iraq
The aftermath they refuse to televise
Have you ever seen politicians not telling lies
Have you ever seen the tears an innocent felon cries
Fell a victim to conditioning
That's how they sellin be lies
Have you ever seen black empowerment
Not lead to demise
Have you seen destitution
Tell me whats the solution
All you see is commercials
With depressing background music
From UNICEF
Asking you as if
50 cents a day
Can bring an end
To the internal corruption at play
Have you seen the police stations
In third world lands
I swear they use bribe money
For a decent paycheck
Have you seen mutated children
Resulting from bombs that got dropped
On innocent civilians
Have you seen the millions
Of orphans who roam
The earth without a home
Unloved and alone
Have you seen the look of despair?
If it locked eyes with you
Would you give a blank stare?
Have you seen deadly desire
Pathological liars
Who see themselves
As something they not
That's how they wired
Have you seen homicide
Have you seen suicide
Have you seen people
Living dead inside where you reside
Have you seen disease
Have you seen devastation
In places where there's no hospitals
No medication, ugh
They say the eyes
Are the windows to the soul
Well who boarded up the windows?
We living blind as bats
Carried wherever the wind blows
Some say they seen it all
I say imagine that tenfold
Who boarded up the windows
No pulling back the curtains on me
Who boarded up the windows
When I look into your eyes
What do I see?
Amber eyes, blue eyes, brown eyes
Green eyes, hazel eyes
Hastily scattering
Batting eyes flattering chasing eyes
Longing eyes
Locking in on lustful sights
Unlike complacent eyes
Strained eyes, weak eyes recognize
When they need they need
Replacement eyes
Don't lie to me
I know what's beyond the windows
I see all the hurt you mask
I see you seek the remedy
Within that flask
I see the dread of work
That precedes every task
Don't lie to me
I know what's beyond the windows
I see a bank of tears overdrawn
I see appreciation
For the world around you is gone
I see mental exhaustion
As if eyes yawn
Bitch don't lie to me
I know what's beyond the windows
I see fear of what's to come
I see a past from which
You would like to run
I see regret and insecurities have sprung
Don't lie to me
I know what's beyond the windows
I know so to me be true
Dishonest eyes
Make it hard to tell who's who
Board the windows up
Some might be fooled
But you can't lie to me
I live from behind the windows
