Lyrics for Black Eye

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
