He had a black eye

He was proud of

Like some of his friends

              EmEm Piano Chord 

It 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
All the mirrors in the hallway
And thought only of his younger face

Black eye
Black eye
