The Look In Your Eyes


I can tell from the look in your eyes

that you've run out of life,

you're not able to smile at the little things anymore,

you don't know where your happiness has gone.

I can tell from the look in your eyes

that you wouldn't care if someone took your life tonight

or if you took your own life.

I can tell from the look in your eyes

that you're tired

from all the bullshit this world has given you.

I can tell from the look in your eyes

that you can't handle anything anymore,

because you've carried around so much pain.

I can tell from the look in your eyes,

because that's how mine look all the time.
