Parker's Eyes

Look at you

You haven't seen anything

Your eyes so white and pure

Without a trace of red

No signs of self-abuse there

And no tears have been shed

Just pure

Pure white eyes

Look at you

You don't know anything

Not what the towers looked like

On September tenth

And words like hate and death and politics

Mean nothing yet

They're sounds

They're only sounds

Once, long ago

I was young

And I saw the world through innocent eyes

Like a child

But those memories are faded now

And all that I can see is our despair

Look at you

You don't fear anything

Not loss of job, or loss of faith

Or loss of self, you're not afraid

You're not afraid of anything

Not even death itself

Look at you

You haven't learned anything

Not all that people do

In every single way

To hurt each other, harm each other

Kill each other every day

But you will

And nothing I can say or do will stop you

Once, long ago

We were young

And we saw the world through innocent eyes

Like a child

But those memories are faded now

And all that we can see is our despair

CHORUS

And now I finally understand

Why we're told to suffer the little children

They're what we were before we fell

Sweet unruined innocence
