Hazel Eyes Lyrics

It is just as it was the first time

Small hands, folded, sweating

On a mahogany desk

Her withering youth in a lace dress

She hired a narrator

To shape her behaviour

But ended up tearing out a page or two

Of her own existence

As a form of resistance

As an act of self-defense

The mirror sighs in front of her

But she can't bear the suffering

And hides behind her hazel eyes

Just her way to say "I tried"

Just her way to wave goodbye

(You don't know the streets like we do)

A letter to Heather

A brief look at the weather

The amount of time required by the social contract

No medicine has ever made it better

So she opted for the self-defense

It gets clearer as she falls into bed

And eventually she rests her head

All nightmares disappear

You'd bet she had never really tried

Just her way to say "I'm fine"

(You don't know the streets like we do)
