They have withered eyes
As conspirators in their blank stares
With cheap cigarettes burning bright
They're weighed down by worldly cares
But strangely they are not restless
For staring off into nowhere
Must seem a solace
From a life that is so unfair
As they sit slouched, nearly asleep
I must stop to contemplate
How will my eyes feel?
After fifty years of dealing with fate
As conspirators in their blank stares
With cheap cigarettes burning bright
They're weighed down by worldly cares
But strangely they are not restless
For staring off into nowhere
Must seem a solace
From a life that is so unfair
As they sit slouched, nearly asleep
I must stop to contemplate
How will my eyes feel?
